GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BONES IN CHILDREN OF EARLY PUBERTY
Keywords:
Bone growth, ossification, bone remodeling, skeletal development, osteogenesis, mechanical forces, bone repair, aging, bone densityAbstract
Bone growth and development are essential processes in the human body that ensure proper skeletal structure and function. Ossification, the process by which bone tissue is formed, and remodeling, the continuous reshaping of bone throughout life, are key elements of skeletal development. This article provides an overview of bone growth, ossification types, and the mechanisms of bone remodeling. Understanding these processes is crucial in areas such as orthopedics, aging, and regenerative medicine. The relationship between genetic factors, mechanical forces, and environmental influences on bone health is also explored.
