Bone homeostasis is maintained by bone formation and bone resorption. The traditional view of bone metabolism as a primarily endocrine regulation has been expanded in recent years following the identification of nervous system controlling bone metabolism. Especially, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system regulates bone formation and bone resorption. In addition, sensory nervous system also has been shown to be involved in the regulation of bone homeostasis. These studies demonstrated that nervous system is closely related to bone remodeling.
