What else can I help you with?
What does Osteoclasts do?
Osteoclasts degrade bone surfaces so that osteoblasts can produce new bone Also Osteoclasts realese calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream
Are cells that digest old bone in preparation for new bone growth?
Osteoclasts. They are a type of phagocytic cell, similar to the macrophage.
What cell removes bone matrix?
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for removing bone matrix during the process of bone remodeling. They break down the mineralized bone matrix by secreting acids and enzymes, allowing for new bone formation by osteoblasts.
What cells alter bone shape?
osteoblasts, or "bone builders" help to lay new deposits, while osteoclasts, or "bone clearers,' break them down. ( so osteoblasts and osteoclasts)
What carries out Bone resorption?
The osteoclasts carry out bone resorption. In contrast, the osteoblasts create new bone.
What are osteoclasts responsible for?
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.
The cells responsible for the re-absorption of bone are?
Osteoclasts are responsible for the break down bone. Osteoclasts release minerals that result in a transfer of calcium from bone fluids to the blood stream which is the re-absorption process.
What bone cells brake bones down?
Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
What are bones cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood called?
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
The bone resorbing cells are called?
Osteoclasts are the bone-resorbing cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue. They play a critical role in bone remodeling and maintenance of calcium balance in the body.
What is the location of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts break down bone (osteo-=bone, -clast=breaks) and osteoblasts build bone. (-blast=builder). This osteoclasts is on the surface of the bone. Usually breaking down and building up of bone is in equilibrium.
Osteoclasts in bone tissue have what effect?
Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
