The bone cells that break down bone are called osteoclasts (bone+breaker). There are others called osteoblasts (bone+builder) which build bone. Usually there are about equal numbers of them in your body.
They are always breaking and rebuilding in a process called bone remodeling. This is a life long process and your body will replace bones at a 10% rate per year.
As you grow older, the osteoclasts out number the osteoblasts and the process of osteopenia (less dense bone) and osteoporosis ( weak bone) occurs.

Is bones and teeth ionic compounds?
Yes in fact teeth are made of the compound hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH Most rocks and minerals are ionic compounds as well, ranging from gemstones to simple sedimentary materials.
How does calcium help bones?
Calcium is an essential element that is required for a host of processes in the body, including muscle contractions, electrical conduction of the heart, and bone development. Specifically more calcium intake results in more calcium being deposited in the bones which results in stronger bones that are less likely to fracture under compressional forces.
What happens when bones are in vinegar?
Vinegar should decalcify the bones. I.E. The bones are made out of mainly calcium carbonate. The vinegar will break it down. There are other compounds in the bones that will remain so the bones will seem soft.
Do Bones float in Oil?
No bones do not float in oil.
What is calcific densities?
A calcific density is a medical phenomenon in which calcium builds up on body tissue and causes it to harden. Calcific densities can occur in many parts of the body. Calcific densities are caused by any disorder that leads calcium to be deposited in a part of the body other than the bones and teeth. Also known as calcifications, calcific densities can usually be seen in X-rays.
What are minerals found in bones are deposited by living cells called?
Osteoblasts.
What is the process of building up and breaking down bones called?
The process of building up and breaking down bones is called calcification. This process begins with layers of calcium that are deposited on the bones or are removed from the bones via decalcification.
Tough protein fiber that is found in bones?
Collagen are protein fibers that form a lattice-like structure within the bone, where minerals are deposited.
Bones are filled with liquid minerals which later harden it is called?
permineralization
Where is most of the bodys calcium deposited?
Most of the bodies calcium is deposited in bones.
What has minerals in it?
All bones contain minerals.
Why are bones called living substances?

Where do you produce your blood?
Blood cells, whether you believe it or not, are produced from the bones. Bones are living things, and act as storehouses. Because the minerals to create blood cells are directly in the bones, cell production is most efficient.
What is stored bones?
Bones store minerals and calcium!
Which minerals needed in the diet for strong bones?
the bones
Were minerials once living things?
In general no. However, living things can incorporate minerals in their structures such as the shells of sea creatures and the bones of animals or structures in plants. Sometimes after the animal dies these minerals are left behind in the shapes that the animals or plants made them.
A dinosaur tooth can be fossilized when the minerals that make up rock replace the minerals that is made up the bones what is this process called?
Total replacement of the minerals: replacement fossilization. Partial replacement of the minerals: perminalization fossilization.
