The process of building up and breaking down bones is called calcification. This process begins with layers of calcium that are deposited on the bones or are removed from the bones via decalcification.
Bones grow through a process called ossification, where new bone tissue is added to existing bone. Remodeling refers to the continuous process of breaking down and rebuilding bone tissue to maintain its strength and structure. This process is regulated by specialized cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
Bones first develop as cartilage models which gradually ossify into bone through a process called endochondral ossification. This process involves the replacement of cartilage with bone tissue, resulting in the formation of the mature bone structure.
The process in which mineral replaces previously formed cartilage is called endochondral ossification. This process is essential for the formation of bones during embryonic development and involves the gradual replacement of cartilage by bone tissue.
The bones of the skull and clavicle develop through a process called intramembranous ossification. This is where bone tissue forms directly within embryonic or fibrous tissue, without a cartilage intermediate. Specialized cells called osteoblasts are involved in this process, laying down new bone tissue.
All bones start as cartilage and over time they turn to bone.
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.

The cell that helps in the movement of bones is called an osteoclast. Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down and removing old bone tissue, allowing for new bone formation and remodeling. This process is essential for maintaining bone strength and flexibility.
"Bumps" on bones, spherical or not, are generally referred to with the term "process".
The process is called 'carbon dating'.

The bone cells that break down bone are called osteoclasts (bone+breaker). There are others called osteoblasts (bone+builder) which build bone.Usually there are about equal numbers of them in your body. They are always breaking and rebuilding in a process called bone remodeling. This is a life long process and your body will replace bones at a 10% rate per year.As you grow older, the osteoclasts out number the osteoblasts and the process of osteopenia (less dense bone) and osteoporosis ( weak bone) occurs.
The minerals found in bones are deposited by living cells called osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for producing new bone tissue and laying down mineral deposits, such as calcium and phosphorus, to help strengthen and support the structure of bones.
The soft, blood building tissue in the center of a bone is called marrow.
