The Role of the Human Endocannabinoid System in Bone Metabolism and Fracture Healing

Scientists have discovered fascinating physiology in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the constant remodeling of bone tissue. New research has uncovered that the ECS plays a critical role in maintaining adequate skeletal system functioning. A study from the Journal of Neuroendocrinology 2008 focused on the major components of the ECS in bone metabolism. The two main…

The human body is constantly working to make adaptive changes within each organ system to maintain balance in the body. This balance is called homeostasis. This internal equilibrium is caused by seamless communication of the organ systems via many negative and positive feedback loop interactions. All of the organ systems in the body must send…
