title: [Electrical polarization in the osteon-system under mechanical stress (author's transl)].
abstract: The results of a model, designed to estimate the electrical polarization of the mineralized collagen fribril in the osteon-system caused by mechanical stresses are presented. These are potential differences in the mV-range between neighbouring osteon-canals with different orientation of the fibrils in the wall of the canal, local dependent potentials in the cross-sectional area of the osteon-canal and the local dependent radial component of the dielectric displacement within the lamella system, especially nearby the osteocytes.
