Abstract

The development and remodeling of bone is a complex process that starts early in embryology and continues throughout life and undergoes differences in composition based on the age. The primary cells that are involved in the process are osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes which are regulated by numerous signaling molecules and work in concert to form both the organic and inorganic makeup of bone. This chapter will focus on each of these key points in detail as well as give updates on bone physiology.
