Summary:In the biological sciences, the mathematical approach to studying
feedback mechanisms has not been common despite the abundance of such
mechanisms in those systems. We try to analyze the calcium homeostatic
mechanism in this context. In addition to a general modeling of this
mechanism, the paper also focuses on parturient paresis, a common
disease associated with the onset of parturition in dairy cows, due to a
large increased demand for calcium
