What are giant bone cells with 50 or more nuclei?
Those are called osteoclasts, which are large multinucleated cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue in a process called bone resorption. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
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.
What cell has many nuclei?
Yes, a syncytia is a cell with more than one nucleus. They are found in humans in the case of sicknesses like RSV, HIV, etc.Mitosis is NOT two nuclei - the nuclear envelope disappears during mitosis so the DNA is no longer in a nucleus.Some cells in the human body normally have more than one nucleus but this is rare: liver cells, urinary system cells, parietal cells (of the stomach), chondrocytes, and heart muscle cells can have more than one nucleus.Some organisms, such as fungi or protists (paramecium, for example), regularly have more than one nuclei under normal circumstances.
Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are called?
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix by secreting acids and enzymes. They play a key role in bone remodeling and resorption.
What type of cell breaks down bone tissue?
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue in a process known as bone resorption. They secrete acid and enzymes that degrade the bone matrix, allowing for the remodelling and repair of bones.
What are giant bone cells with 50 or more nuclei?
Those are called osteoclasts, which are large multinucleated cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue in a process called bone resorption. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
Why do osteoclasts have multi nuclei?
Osteoclasts have multiple nuclei because they are formed through the fusion of mononuclear precursor cells. The multiple nuclei aid in the efficient degradation of bone tissue by increasing the cell's capacity for protein synthesis and secretion of enzymes required for bone resorption. This multinucleation allows osteoclasts to form seal zones and ruffled borders necessary for their bone resorption function.
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 is the process of building up and breaking bones?
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two main cells for building bones. Breaking down bones is osteoblasts which is located in the thin covering of the bone that receives chemical signals such as growth factors. Osteoclasts contain nuclei that break down the bones.
Osteoclasts in bone tissue have what effect?
Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
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
Where are osteoclasts more numerous?
sites of active bone cell activity (living bones)
What F-word is defined in physics as a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei?
Fusion is the process in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei in physics.
Are cells that digest old bone in preparation for new bone growth?
Osteoclasts. They are a type of phagocytic cell, similar to the macrophage.
What are nuclei's?
nuclei is plural for nucleus, meaning more than one nucleus
Are osteoblasts or osteoclasts more active in a growing bone?
both are more active because one builds and the other tears down
What is lined with osteoclasts?
Periosteum
