Question

Describe the process of bone formation and bone remodeling and repair. Explain what would be the result if there were an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation.

Answer 1

The process of formation of bone tissue is called as the  intramembranous ossifications. There are two types of ossifications.

• Intermembranous ossification
• endochondral ossifications.

Intermembranous ossification is the main process during fetal development. The cartilage is not formed during this process. Endochondral ossification is one of the main process during formation of bone, were the mammalian skeletal system is formed.

osteoblasts are a type of bone cells that are responsible for bone formation. Bone remodelling is a  type of bone cells that are responsible for mineralization of bone structures.The mature cells from the bone is removed and new bone cells are introduced by the process of bone remodelling. The osteoclasts are a type of bone cells which  removes the bone tissues by removing the mineral matrix of the bone and also they are having dissolving power to dissolve the collagen part of the bone. These are the events that took part during bine remodelling and repair.
  
   If there is any imbalance between the bone resorption and bone formation occur , that is if there is increased life span and number of the osteoclasts and if there is decrease in the formation and lifespan of osteoblasts will results in imbalance between the bone resorption and bine formation. This results in the deterioration of bone architecture and bone loss.
