Calcium metabolism plays a critical role in various bodily functions like nerve conduction, coagulation, and bone mineralization. It involves processes such as calcium absorption, distribution, and homeostasis, regulated by hormones like PTH and calcitriol. The balance of calcium in the body is cruc

The alveolar process in the upper and lower jaw plays a crucial role in supporting teeth, anchoring them to the alveoli with Sharpey's fibers. It helps in tooth movement for proper occlusion, absorbs and distributes occlusal forces, supplies vessels to the periodontal ligament, and protects both pri

Bone development in animals involves the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into various bone components like osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. This process leads to the formation of specialized connective tissue that provides skeletal support, muscle leverage, and protection for vital org

Bones are essential rigid connective tissues in the human body made up of cells and extracellular matrix. The lecture delves into the cellular components of bone tissue, highlighting osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts, each with specific functions in bone maintenance and

Tooth movement can be categorized as physiologic, pathologic, or orthodontic, with forces transmitted through the tooth to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Changes occurring due to light and heavy forces result in bone resorption and deposition, impacting the supporting structures. Histol
