When osteoclasts remove calcium salts faster than osteoblasts deposits them, it causes the bones to weaken.

Why do osteoclasts have an independent origin than osteoblasts?

Osteoclasts originate from the fusion of monocytes/macrophages and are involved in bone resorption. Osteoblasts, on the other hand, arise from mesenchymal stem cells and are responsible for bone formation. This differentiation in origin allows for the distinct functions of these two cell types in bone remodeling.


Why would it be impossible for bones to grow from within?

Bones cannot grow from within because they are not living tissues. Bones are formed and maintained by cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts on the surface of existing bone tissue. These cells add new bone material to the outside of bones rather than from within.

T3 is more active than T4 in the body's metabolic processes.


Osteoclasts in bone tissue have the effect of raising calcium levels in the blood What?

Osteoclasts break down bone, which will essentially increase the amount of free calcium in the blood stream. Osteoblasts "build" bones from the free calcium in the blood. Calcium is involved in muscle contraction, so if you lack the necessary calcium in your diet, your body will actually break down bone material in order to obtain the necessary calcium for proper muscle function.


Why is bone lost faster with aging than it is replaced?

Bone loss accelerates with aging due to a decrease in the activity of osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and an increase in the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). This imbalance leads to a net loss of bone tissue, resulting in conditions such as osteoporosis. Factors like hormonal changes, decreased physical activity, and inadequate nutrition can further contribute to accelerated bone loss in aging individuals.

How does bone development respond when osteoclasts are stimulated more than osteoblasts?

Any of these changes may result if osteoblasts are more active than osteoclasts.

What make bones heal fast compared to nerve or muscle?

Bone is constantly remodeled during much of life by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. As such, the repair to a broken bone heals faster because it models the bone back in place, and sometimes it will heal stronger than it was before the injury.

Which halogen is more active chlorine bromine or iodine?

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine or iodine because it is smaller in size and has more effective nuclear charge, making it more electronegative and likely to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
