Bone resorption is promoted by the parathyroid hormone, also called PTH. Bone resorption is the process by which osteoclasts break down bone and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone fluid to the blood.

Bone mass reduction is promoted by which hormone?
An increase in bone growth is promoted by different hormones. In most cases this is as a result of estrogen in women and testosterone in the men.
What accomplishes bone resorption?
A cell called an osteoclast accomplishes bone resorption.
What carries out Bone resorption?
The osteoclasts carry out bone resorption. In contrast, the osteoblasts create new bone.
Does parathyroid hormone decrease calcium absorption from the gut?
In general, it increases calcium in the blood by increasing bone resorption. The exception is when pth is given in spiked pulses, which is the case in some medications (forteo, a pth analogue) which can paradoxically decrease bone resorption.
Is the overproduction of the parathyroid hormone?
Hyperparathyroidism or over production of parathyroid hormone causes pain in bones and pathological fractures of bones. Due to this problem, you have increased bone resorption and so that is the result of the same.
What is the process of dissolving bone and returning it's minerals to the bloodstream?
Resorption is the process of dissolving bone and returning its minerals to the bloodstream.
Which bone cells cause calcium resorption from the bone?
Osteoclasts
What is subperiosteum bone resorption of the distal phalanges?
Subperiosteal bone resorption of the distal phalanges means that the bone at the ends of the fingers is disappearing. It's typically a sign of hyperparathyroidism.
What is the process of bone loss or removal?
Resorption
What is bone destruction called?
When osteoclasts break down bone that is called resorption.
What is the name of the cell responsible for bone resorption?
Bone resorbing cells are known as osteoclasts. Immature bone cells are referred to as osteoblasts. Mature bone cells are called osteocytes.
What is the function of parathyroid hormone?
PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands (which are attached to your thyroid) and acts on bone (via increased bone resorption) , the kidneys (via increased reabsorption of calcium) and the intestine (increased calcium absorption by increased levels of activated vitamin D) to increase blood calcium levels.
