| The human skeleton is composed of 206 bones. Bones are composed of tissue, proteins, minerals and vitamins. The formation, modelling and breakdown of bone is regulated by bone cells such as osteoblasts, and osteoclasts (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2017). Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for producing and secreting bone matrix proteins for bone synthesis and remodelling, while osteoclasts are responsible for bone breakdown through the reabsorption. When the activity of osteoclasts surpasses the bone formation by osteoblasts, the bones become brittle and porous leaving them susceptible to fractures(International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2017). As the population ages, osteoporosis poses an increasing social and medical demand on individuals, caregivers and healthcare providers. Currently, prevention, detection and management are instrumental in managing this condition (Cosman et al., 2014). | The human skeleton is composed of 206 bones.
