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 medical term meaning cell that is responsible for dissolving bone to enlarge the marrow cavity?
Osteoclasts: type of bone cell that removes bone tissue by removing its mineralized matrix and breaking up the organic bone.
The cell responsible for secreting the matrix of bone is the?
The cell type that is responsible for bone matrix is the Osteoblast. Osteoblast's form a protein mixture known as osteoid, which materializes to become bone. They also manufacture hormones to act on the bone itself.
Which organic protein is responsible for the bone matrix that hydroxyapatite binds to?
Collagen
What cells are responsible for production of new bone?
An Osteoblast
Which bone cell types is primarily responsible for initiating ossification of a bone?
osteoblast
What Bone cells maintain the mineral content of bone?
These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the bone.
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.
What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.
Of the three major types of cells present in bone tissue which one is responsible for bone building?
Osteocyte
What does hydroxyapatite do for bones?
Hydroxyapatite is what makes the matrix of bone hard.
What are two types os substances are stored in bone matrix?
Bone matrix is composed mostly of calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals like iron, copper, and magnesium.
