Research also suggests that osteoblasts exert an influence on osteoclasts by using receptors that can control the chemical or hormonal signals which would either initiate or inhibit osteoclastic action (Marks and Odgren, 2002). , 1999; Parfitt, 2000). Once the osteoblast has completed bone formation it can undergo various transformations, either becoming a flattened bone lining cell, undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis), or it can become embedded within the newly formed bone tissue transforming into an osteocyte (see below) (Parfitt, 1994; Baron, 1999; Sommerfeldt and Rubin, 2001).
However, bone tissue needs to be regenerated throughout life and lamellar osteons are continually altered and replaced by new osteons. These osteons are formed by a specific process called remodelling (see below) and are clearly defined by the cement line. These structures are called secondary osteons. Fragments of lamellar bone located between different osteons are called interstitial bone (Sevitt, 1981:19). Secondary osteons may show numerous cement lines, which represent repeated remodelling events, or may show an osteon having formed within an osteon unit (type II osteon).
Bone remodelling occurs within temporary units called basic multicellular units (BMU). Within each BMU, osteoclasts are created to resorb bone and new osteoblasts then follow to replace bone in the same location. The relationship between osteoclast action followed by osteoblast function in one location is known as coupling, and is an essential concept in bone biology (Parfitt, 1994, 2000; Frost, 2003; Parfitt, 2003). 1; see Parfitt, 1994). , 2002; Parfitt, 2003). The exact mechanism of this stimulus is presently unknown but may relate to the recognition of fatigue damage or a mechanical strain stimulus (Martin, 2000; Parfitt, 2003; Pearson and Lieberman, 2004).
