Skeletal Responses to Physical Loading

  • Chapter
Physiology and Pharmacology of Bone

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 107))

Abstract

The principal functions of most bones are to provide shape and withstand repetitive load-bearing. The function of bone tissue is to provide both a load-bearing material and an available repository for mineral. The functional responsibilities of bone and bones can only be discharged through the agency of populations of cells whose activity must be regulated, coordinated, and controlled accordingly.
