Remodeling


The process of bone recycling and renewal is known as remodeling.


Explanation;

Bone remodeling involves the recycling ad the renewal of the bone.

It is a continuing process of synthesis and destruction that gives the bone its mature structure and maintains normal calcium levels in the body.
