bony matrix is dissolved

∙ 11y ago
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption or the breakdown of bone tissue. They secrete enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral component of bone, allowing the release of stored calcium and other minerals into the bloodstream. This process helps maintain calcium homeostasis, remodel damaged bone, and play a role in bone growth and repair.

The bone resorbing cells are called?
osteoclasts are cells that dissolve bone cells.
What cells produced by fusion of monocytes?
osteoclasts
Where are osteoclasts most active?
spongy bone
What is the location of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts break down bone (osteo-=bone, -clast=breaks) and osteoblasts build bone. (-blast=builder). This osteoclasts is on the surface of the bone. Usually breaking down and building up of bone is in equilibrium.
What cell removes bone matrix?
Osteoclasts are cells that degrade bone. Osteoblasts are the cells that build bonesSome bone cells deposit bone and some reabsorb bone tissue.
What is formed through a process called ossification?
Bone is formed through a process called ossification. Osteoclasts are cells that release an acid which dissolves the collagen and mineral coating. Osteoblasts are cells that lay down new collagen. in ossification the osteoclasts and osteoblasts are involved in breaking down bone.. then forming bone which happens continuously in life
What happens if calcitonin levels rise?
Osteoclasts activity is inhibited and blood calcium levels rise.
Osteoclasts in bone tissue have what effect?
Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are called?
osteoclasts
The remodeling of bone is a function of which cells?
Ossification.
What does Osteoclasts do?
Osteoclasts degrade bone surfaces so that osteoblasts can produce new bone Also Osteoclasts realese calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream
The bone resorbing cells are called?
osteoclasts are cells that dissolve bone cells.
What type of cell breaks down bone tissue?
The name of the cell that breaks down bones is called the osteoclast.The cell that builds bones is called the osteocyte.The break down bone cells are usually remodeled by the connective tissue that are found on the surface of the bone.
What is lined with osteoclasts?
Periosteum
What bone cells brake bones down?
Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
The cells responsible for the re-absorption of bone are?
Osteoclasts are responsible for the break down bone. Osteoclasts release minerals that result in a transfer of calcium from bone fluids to the blood stream which is the re-absorption process.
Since osteoclasts remodel bone they are probably responsible for creating?
osteoclasts break down bones, osteoblasts build them up
