It is important for bones to have blood vessels because they provide essential oxygen, nutrients, hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters to bone cells, which are critical for bone development, maintenance, remodeling, and repair. Blood vessels also remove metabolic waste from the bone, regulate bone cell activity, and support processes such as hematopoiesis (formation of blood cells). Furthermore, the interaction between blood vessels and bone cells facilitates bone growth and regeneration through mechanisms like angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and osteogenesis (bone formation). Impairments in bone vasculature can lead to skeletal diseases and affect bone health negatively. Thus, proper blood supply is crucial for sustaining bone vitality and function.
