Fossilisation; Fossilization for Americans.
What are bone forming cells?
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 or bone+holes) occurs.
What is the nature of decalcified bones what was removed and what impact did it have on the bone?
If it is diffuse decalcification in children, it is called as Rickets. It is called as osteomalacia in the adult. If it is patchy decalcification, it is called as osteoporosis. Bones becomes weak as a result of these changes.
What are your finger and toe bones called?

How is bone material lost?
Our bones are constantly being remodeled. That means that it is being broken down and built up and should be at an equal rate. This begins to become unequal in the later years. The breaking down occurs more quickly than the building up. So the bones become thinner and can break more easy.
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.
What cell helps in movement of 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.
