bone remodeling









































bone remodeling (or bone metabolism) is a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton (a process called "bone resorption") and new bone tissue is formed (a process called "ossification" or "new bone formation"). these processes also control the reshaping or replacement of bone following injuries like fractures but also micro-damage, which occurs during normal activity. remodeling responds also to functional demands of the mechanical loading.









































in the first year of life, almost 100% of the skeleton is replaced. in adults, remodeling proceeds at about 10% per year.

bone tissue (osseous tissue) is a hard tissue, a type of dense connective tissue. it has a honeycomb-like matrix internally, which helps to give the bone rigidity. bone tissue is made up of different types of bone cells. osteoblasts and osteocytes are involved in the formation and mineralization of bone; osteoclasts are involved in the resorption of bone tissue. modified (flattened) osteoblasts become the lining cells that form a protective layer on the bone surface. the mineralised matrix of bone tissue has an organic component of mainly collagen called "ossein" and an inorganic component of bone mineral made up of various salts. bone tissue is a mineralized tissue of two types, cortical bone and cancellous bone. other types of tissue found in bones include bone marrow, endosteum, periosteum, nerves, blood vessels and cartilage.
