Maintain of bone homeostasis
osteoblasts and clasts work together at an even rate
if out of sync, bones will be weak or larger than normal

From one side to the other of a bone
Incomplete fracture
not broken entirely through the bone

Healing of fractures (simple)
1. blood clot
2. cartilage clot
3. bone clot

Healing of fractures (complex, each step)
1. circulation stops, swells, inflames, capillaries grow, brings phagocytes/osteoclasts
2. cartilage forms, fibroblasts glue cartilage together, cartilage callus complete
3.osteogenic -> osteoblast, trabeculae forms which joins living tissue to dead tissue
4. dead bone reabsorbed, compact bones replaces spongy bone on periphery, callus smoothed
