Resumo

Although bones are normally thought of as supporting structures that fracture when one falls, bone is actually a very active metabolic organ. It is vital in the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism, magnesium storage, and in buffering metabolic acido-sis. Bone and mineral metabolism and some of their disorders are presented in this article.
