Abstract

The skeleton is a metabolically active organ that is constantly remodeled throughout one's life. Bone remodeling entails the
removal of mineralized bone by osteoclasts and the subsequent synthesis of bone matrix by osteoblasts, which thereafter become
mineralized. Resorption, when osteoclasts eat old bone; reversal, when mononuclear cells emerge on the bone surface; and
production, when osteoblasts lay down new bone until the resorbed bone is completely replaced, are the three steps of the
remodeling cycle. Bone remodeling helps to modify bone architecture to meet changing mechanical needs and prevents the
accumulation of old bone by repairing micro-damages in the matrix. It is also essential for maintaining plasma calcium
homeostasis.
