Many people believed that the bone is static and inert, but this idea is incorrect, the organic and
mineral components of the bone matrix are continually being recycled and renewed through a
process called remodeling. This process goes under way throughout life, as part of normal bone
maintenance. Bone remodeling plays a key factor between the activities of osteocytes, osteoblasts,
and osteoclasts. In the adult stage, osteocytes are continually removing and replacing the
surrounding calcium

is osteoblast. Whenever a bone
is stressed, the mineral crystals generate electrical fields. Osteoblasts have an attraction to these
electrical fields, and once they are in this area they begin to produce bone. Since bones are
adaptable , their shapes reflect the forces applied to them. Heavily streeled bones become thicker
and stronget, whereas bones not being accessible to ordinary stresses will be deteriorated.
Therefore is important to exercise daily to maintain a normal bone structure.
