Final answer:
Several hormones affect bone tissue. Growth hormone (GH), thyroxine, estrogen, testosterone, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin are examples of hormones that influence bone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones affect bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. Growth hormone (GH) controls bone growth by triggering chondrocyte proliferation in epiphyseal plates and increasing calcium retention. Thyroxine stimulates bone growth and regulates bone matrix synthesis. Sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) promote osteoblastic activity and the production of bone matrix.
Hormones That Influence Osteoclasts
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates osteoclast proliferation and bone resorption. Calcitonin inhibits osteoclast activity. Both hormones play a role in bone remodeling.
