The assignment is based on concepts covered in the skeletal system, specifically bone homeostasis (resorption and deposition). After endochondral and intramembranous ossifications, homeostasis of bone tissue is maintained through the continuous remodeling actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Normally, the osteoclasts resorption (breakdown) bone tissue, while osteoblasts replace (build) bone tissue. These opposing processes known as resorption and deposition are well regulated, so that the total bone tissue mass generally remains nearly constant.. The assignment requires that you use a concept map to demonstrate your understanding of bone homeostasis (resorption and deposition), specially the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the process, the effects of hormones, nutrition, mechanical stresses on these cells and the interrelationships with other systems, such as integumentary, digestive and urinary. and deposition), specially neal stresses on these the other systems, such as integire stresses on these cels
