The intestinal microflora plays an important role in the proper functioning of human. It is complex, diverse and dynamic ecosystem that constantly strives to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. The process of acquiring intestinal microflora begins immediately after human birth. Elementary factors that determine the modification of the composition of the microflora are age, sex, diet, lifestyle. Determinate individual composition of the microflora. Microorganisms inhabiting the intestine perform various functions, from metabolic, immune to trophic. Early changes in the intestinal microflora are reflected in the state of human health. Recently, many studies have been carried out confirming the hypothesis that the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract affects the normal metabolism of bone tissue, and disorders in its composition can lead to the appearance of bumps in the processes of physiological remodeling of bone tissue and contribute to the formation of many inflammations. Microorganisms that rot in the digestive tract regulate bone metabolism through three mechanisms: the impact on the immune system, the hormonal system and the impact on the absorption of minerals. Disorders in the microflora of the digestive tract can lead to the development of inflammatory bowel diseases, and as a consequence to the accelerated development of osteoporosis or arthrosis of the joints.The aim: To collect available publications confirming the impact of microflora on the skeletal system.
