The ultrastructural effects of parathyroid-hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D on bone

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Electron Microscopy in Biology and Medicine ((EMBM,volume 7))

Abstract

Electron microscopy of bone, particularly using nondecalcified specimens, has enabled the cor-relation between alterations of bone cell activity and changes in the adjacent matrix and mineral. These correlations have led to conclusions about the role of bone cells in calcium and skeletal homeostasis. The objectives of this chapter are to review the effects of parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D on the ultrastructure of bone.
