Study Notes
Bone Remodeling
- Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, breaking down and absorbing bone tissue.
Bone Remodeling Mechanisms
- Wolff's Law describes the adaptive response of bone to mechanical stresses, where bone is resorbed in areas of low stress and formed in areas of high stress.
Functions of Bone Remodeling
- The primary function of bone remodeling is to maintain skeletal integrity and repair microdamage, ensuring the bone remains strong and functional.
