What are giant bone cells with 50 or more nuclei?
Osteoclasts
What Cell can build a bony matrix?
osteoblasts. definitely osteoblasts. Though 'osteoclasts' are correct in the sense that they can call for the osteoblasts. But osteoclasts are more directly involved in chewing away at bone.
Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are called?
osteoclasts
The remodeling of bone is a function of which cells?
Ossification.
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.

Osteoclasts
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.

osteoblasts. definitely osteoblasts. Though 'osteoclasts' are correct in the sense that they can call for the osteoblasts. But osteoclasts are more directly involved in chewing away at bone.
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
Where are osteoclasts more numerous?
sites of active bone cell activity (living bones)
The bone resorbing cells are called?
osteoclasts are cells that dissolve bone cells.
A cell that does not EVER go through Mitosis?
Mature osteoclasts. They're bone absorbing cells which, along with osteoblasts (bone forming cells) are responsible for ensuring your skeleton is correctly adapted for your needs. Osteoclasts formed by a fusion of a group of blood cells known as monocytes. They're very strange cells as they're also multi-nucleate (one cells contains many nuclei).
