Zusammenfassung

Das Skelettsystem ist der Stabilisator des Organismus und gleichzeitig ein großes Reservoir für die Aufrechterhaltung der Kalziumhomöostase und des Serumkalziumspiegels. Das „Material Knochen“ setzt sich aus anorganischen und organischen Bestandteilen zusammen, sein Aufbau, seine Erhaltung und seine Anpassung an veränderte Belastung werden durch Zellen aus 2 verschiedenen Geweben gewährleistet. Mesenchymale und myeloische Zellen regulieren den Knochen in einem komplizierten Zusammenspiel. Es resultiert ein Gewebe, das dem Leben unter dem Einfluss der Schwerkraft auf der Erde in allen Alltagssituationen gerecht wird. Mit dem Alter tritt bei allen Menschen ein als normal akzeptierter Verlust an Knochenmasse ein. Individuelle Disposition zu frühzeitigem Verlust an Knochenmasse bedingt einen frühzeitigen Funktionsverlust des Knochens und führt zur Brüchigkeit des Knochens auch unter Alltagsbedingungen.
