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.
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 element is your bones and teeth made up of?
Various - but I guess you are after the mineral portion - thus Calcium Second Answer from an editor: Your bones are made of osteoclast which include calcium. Your teeth are made of dentin and that has calcium in it too. When you get cavities germs and bacteria can invade and erode the dentin and it is not replaceable as bones can regenerate new bone osteoclast cells. That is what causes bone fracture re-fusing. Too bad teeth cannot regenerate dentin.
Which bone cell destroys and recycles bones?
Osteoclasts are the cells that breakdown bones by releasing enzymes and resorbing the bones. This sounds negative but it's actually very important for bone health because it allows your bones to be remodeled. About 10% of adult bones are remodeled in a year; in the first year of life, almost 100% of the skeleton is remodeled and replaced.
When there is too little calcium in the blood which cells begin resorption of bone to release calcium to the blood?
Osteoclast
What are bone cells that respond to the parathyroid hormone to destroy bone matrix and release calcium into the blood?
An osteoclast.

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.
What type of cells destroy bones?
Osteoclast
Osteoclast cells are defined as?
Bone cells that resorb bone tissue.
What cells are needed to tear down bone?
Osteoclast
What is a calcium channel blocker?
Calcium channel blockers are medicines that slow the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.
What cells are found in the skeletal system?
Osteoblast Cell, Osteoprogenitor cells , Osteoclast cells and Osteocytes cells
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 specialized cells are needed to tear down bone?
Osteoclast
