Normal bone physiology, remodelling and its hormonal regulation

Normal bone anatomy and physiology.

This review describes normal bone anatomy and physiology as an introduction to the subsequent articles in this section that discuss clinical applications of iliac crest bone biopsy. The normal anatomy and functions of the skeleton are reviewed first, followed by a general description of the processes of bone modeling and remodeling. The bone remodeling process regulates the gain and loss of bon...

Vitamin-D regulation of bone mineralization and remodelling during growth.

Vitamin D status relates to two bone diseases, osteomalacia and osteoporosis which arise from distinct pathophysiogical pathways. They can occur in children as well as adults. Osteomalacia or rickets arises from a delay in mineralization and can be caused by severe vitamin D deficiency where the key to curing osteomalacia is the endocrine action of circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D to normali...
