Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are called?
osteoclasts
What is an example of a multinucleated organism?
Skeletal muscle cells and osteoclasts are multinucleated. Multinucleated cells can also be seen in the presence of some diseases, such as tuberculosis, but these cells are abnormal and usually die.
Do multinucleated cells in human body exist execept skeletal muscle?
Yeah. Osteoclasts are multinucleated and they work in bone resorption. Hepatocytes and some WBC (neutrophils and eosinophils) are also multinucleated.
Which of the following characteristics applies to the cells known as osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells found in bone tissue. They are responsible for the breakdown and resorption of bone by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineralized matrix of bone. Osteoclasts are derived from the fusion of monocytes/macrophages and are involved in bone remodeling and repair.
The bone resorbing cells are called?
osteoclasts are cells that dissolve bone cells.
Why the cells of tapetum in angiospermic plants are multinucleated?
because the cells of tapetum undergo meiosis due to which it it becomes multinucleated.
What are multinucleated cells that produce bones?
osteoblast
What is the most common types of muscles?
Depends on how big a meat-head you are. There are exactly three types of muscle: cardiac (striated, bifurcated and mononucleated), smooth (no striations, multinucleated), and skeletal (striated, multinulceated).
What bone cells brake bones down?
Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
The remodeling of bone is a function of which cells?
Ossification.
What are cells that reabsorb bone?
osteoclasts
Which bone cells demineralize bones?
osteoclasts
