boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts
Hormonal effects boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts Calcitonin(CT)from thyroid Parathyroidhormone(PTH)from parathyroid
Age effects boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts Before age 25
Age effects boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts Age 25-50
Age effects boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts Age 50-120
Stress effects boneformation bonereabsorption osteoblasts osteoclasts Stress increases bone density
Direction of stress can alter orientation& size of of osteons
Increasing bone stress can reduce or eliminate age-related bone loss
Space travel decreases stress & increases bone loss
