both are more active because one builds and the other tears down
Any of these changes may result if osteoblasts are more active than osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts are needed to create bone. Osteoclasts destroy bone.

Osteoclasts and osteoblasts
Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)
If osteoclasts are more active than osteoblasts, there is a net decrease in bone density as osteoclasts break down bone tissue faster than osteoblasts can form new bone. This can lead to conditions like osteoporosis where bone becomes weak and brittle. It is important to maintain a balance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity for healthy bone remodeling.
osteoblasts, or "bone builders" help to lay new deposits, while osteoclasts, or "bone clearers,' break them down. ( so osteoblasts and osteoclasts)
Yes.
osteoblasts or osteoclasts
They absorb (or resorb) bone. Bone is active living tissue that is constant remaking itself. The osteoclasts break down and resorb old bone while osteoblasts lay down new bone to take its place.
Osteoclasts degrade bone surfaces so that osteoblasts can produce new bone Also Osteoclasts realese calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream
