Bone responds to pressures. A person can look at a skeleton and tell if that person is left or right handed. The skeleton began even but the pressure or influences by using it makes it thicker. It lays down more bone using osteoblasts (bone+Builders). When a bone is broken, the osteoblasts form a bridge which is very thick. When it is mended, the osteoclast (bone+breaker) break down the extra bone to form the original (or close to the original) shape. This double process is also called bone remodeling.
What else can I help you with?
How is bone produced and maintained?
Specialized cells - osteoblasts (make bone) and ostoclasts (eat bone) work constantly to remodel bone to be as strong as necessary but no more. Note that collagen is layed down first, and is converted into bone.
Since osteoclasts remodel bone they are probably responsible for creating?
osteoclasts break down bones, osteoblasts build them up
Is remodel a verb or a noun?
"Remodel" would be a verb (remodel, remodels, remodeling, remodeled).
What bone cells in the body remodel the synthetic material and produce new bone?
Osteoclasts are the bone cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing old bone tissue. Osteoblasts, on the other hand, are responsible for producing new bone tissue and laying down the synthetic material. Both cell types work together in a process known as bone remodeling.
What bone cells are responsible for removing excess bone tissue after the fracture repair process?
Osteoclasts are the bone cells responsible for removing excess bone tissue after the fracture repair process. These multinucleated cells break down and resorb bone tissue, helping to reshape and remodel the new bone to restore its original structure and strength. This process is a crucial part of bone healing and ensures that the bone regains its functional integrity.
When a bone breaks what consumes the dead bone cell tissues?
When a bone breaks, the body initiates a process called bone remodeling. Osteoclasts are cells that break down and remove the damaged bone tissue, while osteoblasts come in to build new bone tissue to repair the fracture. This process helps to remodel and strengthen the bone at the site of the break.
What contains cells involved in the growth and what of bone?
Bone growth involves several types of cells, primarily osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation and mineralization, while osteocytes maintain the bone matrix. Osteoclasts play a crucial role in bone resorption, helping to remodel and shape the bone as it grows. Together, these cells work in a coordinated manner to ensure healthy bone development and maintenance.
What happens through the action of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption or the breakdown of bone tissue. They secrete enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral component of bone, allowing the release of stored calcium and other minerals into the bloodstream. This process helps maintain calcium homeostasis, remodel damaged bone, and play a role in bone growth and repair.
Does a broken bone heal through the process called cell division?
Yes, a broken bone heals through a process called bone remodeling, which involves both cell division and the formation of new bone tissue. Initially, cells called osteoblasts form new bone, followed by the action of osteoclasts that break down excess bone to remodel and strengthen the healed area.
How do I start remodeling my home?
To start this endeavor you must first decide the extent of the remodel. Decide what areas of the home you wish to remodel and how you would like to remodel it. Then, you will need to look for a contractor who specializes in the area you would like to remodel or a general contractor if intend to extensively remodel your home.
What would happen if you didn't have osteoclasts?
You couldn't make new bone -- no repair, no strengthening
