Bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum The inner osteogenic layer consists primarily of?
It is true that bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum. The inner layer is made up mostly of osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
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 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
Where are osteoclasts most abundant?
Bones.
What is the destruction of matrix osteoclasts?
Resorption
