Why does suppression of all osteoblast activity not guarantee that the person will experience increased net deposition? Also, what does it mean for one hormone to have a "permissive effect" on the action of another hormone?

  #2

Permissive effect:

e.g. ACTH and aldosteron. ACTH doesn't increase aldosterone secretion but it is only a trophic factor which must be present in order to aldosterone synthesis take place.

Iodids have permissive effect on thyreoid hormons, which means there can be no regullar thyroid hormons synthesis without them.

There are also hormons which have a permissive effect on growth,which means they don't increase growth by themselves, but they are important for growth. I think thyroid hormons are with such effect.

This is my opinion, if I have made a mistake, please let me know

thats what i think

osteoblasts work with osteoclasts to exert their effect

the il 1 receptors present on the osteoclasts re activated, which activate receptors on the osteoblasts, hence the bone deposition or bone resorption cant occur alone, they occur with both receptors togethet

permissive effect i agree with mildus

ALSO CORTISOL released in stress,is permissive fr GLUCAGON in hypoglycemia.
