Bone is a metabolically active tissue that throughout life undergoes constant re-modelling.
How did this occur?
- Bone resorption can be defined as the process by which the bones are absorbed and broken down by the body.
- Osteoclast cells are responsible for the breakdown of bone minerals thus releasing calcium and phosphorous.
- Bone density tends to stay stable with equal amounts of bone formation and bone breakdown from about 25-30 years.
- After age 50, bone breakdown (resorption) outpaces bone formation and bone loss often accelerates.
- The resorption period has a duration of 30–40 days which is then followed by bone formation over a period of 150 days .
