Csontmineralizáció
Csontmineralizáció is the process by which bone tissue hardens through the deposition of calcium and phosphate minerals. This process is crucial for the development, growth, and maintenance of healthy bones. It begins during fetal development and continues throughout childhood and adolescence, reaching peak bone mass in early adulthood.
The primary minerals involved are calcium and phosphate, which form hydroxyapatite crystals. These crystals are deposited
Several factors influence csontmineralizáció. Hormones like parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D play vital roles in
Disruptions in csontmineralizáció can lead to various bone diseases. Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone mass and
