Osteoclastic activity increases the blood calcium level. Osteoblastic activity nullify the effect of osteoclastic activity. Both go hand in hand to rearrange the orientation of calcium lines in the bones, as per requirement of the stresses on the bones.

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.


What does the osteoclasts do?

Ostioclasts are the cells that lay down the calcium salts that are the bony part of bone. Ostioblasts are the cells that dissolve the bony salts. Note : condroclasts and chondroblasts do the same thing for the collagen matrix of bone. They all work together to form and modify bone.


Cells that free calcium from bone to maintain blood calcium levels are called?

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue to release calcium into the bloodstream to maintain blood calcium levels.


What types of cells take calcium from the blood?

Osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells, can take calcium from the blood to build and strengthen bones. Additionally, some specialized cells in the kidneys called distal convoluted tubule cells play a role in regulating calcium levels by reabsorbing or excreting calcium as needed.


What is the relationship between estrogen and osteoclast function and how that relates to esteoperosis?

estrogen decreases osteoclast(bone reduction remodeling) which decreases osteoporosis. promotes osteoblast activity in bone formation. keeping calcium in bones and keeping bone density/integrity.

Does calcitonin cause a decrease in blood calcium ion levels?

The hormone Calcitonin has the effect of reducing blood calcium levels. The hormone comes from the thyroid gland and works in basically three ways. 1. It works to slow absorption of calcium by the intestine. 2. It also inhibits the osteoclast (cells in bone that break down old bone tissue) that raise blood calcium levels. 3. It causes osteoblast (cells in bone that lay down new bone matrix) to form new bone. This explanation is at it's simplest form of course.
