Which cell accomplishes resorption?
Osteoclasts
What is the process of dissolving bone and returning it's minerals to the bloodstream?
Resorption is the process of dissolving bone and returning its minerals to the bloodstream.
What is bone destruction called?
When osteoclasts break down bone that is called resorption.
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 condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition leading to the bone becoming more porous and brittle?
Osteoporosis
Which cell accomplishes resorption?
Osteoclasts
What carries out Bone resorption?
The osteoclasts carry out bone resorption. In contrast, the osteoblasts create new bone.
Bone resorption is promoted by which hormone?
Bone resorption is promoted by the parathyroid hormone, also called PTH. Bone resorption is the process by which osteoclasts break down bone and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone fluid to the blood.
What is the process of dissolving bone and returning it's minerals to the bloodstream?
Resorption is the process of dissolving bone and returning its minerals to the bloodstream.
Which bone cells cause calcium resorption from the bone?
Osteoclasts
What is subperiosteum bone resorption of the distal phalanges?
Subperiosteal bone resorption of the distal phalanges means that the bone at the ends of the fingers is disappearing. It's typically a sign of hyperparathyroidism.
What is the process of bone loss or removal?
Resorption
What is bone destruction called?
When osteoclasts break down bone that is called resorption.
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 age does bone resorption generally begin to occur more rapidly than bone formation?
Age of 40
What is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition leading to the bone becoming more porous and brittle?
Osteoporosis
Does parathyroid hormone decrease calcium absorption from the gut?
In general, it increases calcium in the blood by increasing bone resorption. The exception is when pth is given in spiked pulses, which is the case in some medications (forteo, a pth analogue) which can paradoxically decrease bone resorption.
