The largest forces acting on the bone come from muscle contractions and are transmitted to the bone via the tendons. Because of the leverage, forces can act on the bones that exceed 10 times the body weight. In order to fulfil its mechanical tasks, the bone must be able to adapt to changes in the magnitude or direction of the force so that voluntary muscle contractions do not cause pain or even lead to fractures. In addition, the bone must also be able to react to changes in metabolism and the environment.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
