Bone and its componentOrganic  Component:
protein collagen & specialized cells called osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes
Inorganic  component:
Mainly as calcium phosphate, in the form of HydroxyapatiteOsteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
Bone HomeostasisBone Homeostasis:
the situation when the body requires and achieves an equal amount of bone resorption and bone formation
the amount of bone eroded by osteoclasts is equal to the	amount of bone produced by osteoblasts, thereby producing a stable net mass of bone in the bodyHomeostasisOsteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
Bone RemodelingThe combined processes of breaking down bone and building new bone are called Bone Remodeling.
It is the body’s way of maintaining bone homeostasis.
5 Stages:
Initiation,
Resorption,
Reversal,
Bone formation and
Completion of remodeling. Osteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
Remodeling: ActivationOsteoclast precursor cells are attracted to a bone site and penetrate the bone lining cells. These osteoclast precursor cells then form activated osteoclasts that align themselves in direct contact with mineralized bone matrix. Osteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
Remodeling: ResorptionThe osteoclasts erode a cavity by removing mineral and organic components from the bone. The osteoclasts eventually die. This completes the resorption phase. Osteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
Remodeling: RevarsalCells of unknown origin prepare the bone surface for new bone formation by smoothing the surface of the cavity and depositing a thin layer of a cement-like substance. Osteoporosis: Challenges to meet| BICC | 27th July, 2010
