bone-vascular axis

The bone-vascular axis refers to the close connection between bones and their blood vessels. Blood vessels supply bones with essential nutrients and oxygen, supporting health and healing. In turn, bones help regulate blood flow and produce factors that influence blood vessel growth. This dynamic relationship ensures bones remain strong, recover from injury, and adapt to changes in the body’s needs. Understanding this axis highlights how healthy circulation is vital for maintaining strong bones and how bones, in turn, can affect overall vascular health.
