Abstract:
Bone remodeling is only dynamic feature which observed in adult bones except during fracture healing. Patients of bone metabolic diseases show abnormal characteristics in bone remodeling. Observation of structural and÷or dynamic changes of packets in the cancellous bone is useful for understanding a status of bone remodeling. Histomorphometric analysis of bone from iliac biopsy is established methods for clarifying the etiology, pathogenesis, and the effects of treatments. This chapter contains the way for understanding dynamic parameters, age and disease related changes of parameters, and the methods of the iliac bone biopsy.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...
