Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are called?
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix by secreting acids and enzymes. They play a key role in bone remodeling and resorption.
What is an example of a multinucleated organism?
Skeletal muscle cells and osteoclasts are multinucleated. Multinucleated cells can also be seen in the presence of some diseases, such as tuberculosis, but these cells are abnormal and usually die.
How do skeletal muscle fibers become multinucleated?
Being multinucleated enables anything to synthesize more protein. Also we know that skeletal muscle fibres are much longer than that of any other muscle fibre, so it needs a huge amount of actin and myosin protein to bring about required contraction of a muscle, as actin and myosin crossbridge is required for muscle contraction. Thus it can be postulated that this boon of being multinucleated is essential for a skeletal muscle to posses adequate amounts of actin and myosin for muscle contraction.

Are striated muscle cells are long and cylindrical?
Yes, striated muscle cells are long and cylindrical in shape. They are also known as muscle fibers and can be quite large, extending the length of the muscle they are part of. The striations result from the arrangement of protein filaments within the cell, giving it the ability to contract and generate force.
What is syncytia?
Syncytia is the multinucleated condition in which many cells combines and form a single large cell,due to any viral infection.
Why are skeletal muscle cells multinucleated?
The number of cells depends on how large the muscle is; muscles consist of fiber bundles, which are made up of myofibrils. A sarcomere is one of the segments that the myofibril is divided into. In each fiber bundle there are multinucleate cells, which can extend the length of the skeletal muscle. So, the number of cells in a skeletal muscle depends on the size of the muscle. for example, the number of cells in one of our triceps larger than one of the small muscles in a finger.
What is syncytial formation?
A general term for any kind of cell that fuses with adjacent cells to form a multinucleated large cells with fused cytoplasms
Does a skeletal muscle fiber contain many nuclei?
Yes, skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated, containing multiple nuclei located along the length of the fiber. These nuclei are important for controlling protein synthesis and other cellular activities involved in muscle function and repair.
Why are muscle cells multinucleated?
Muscle cells are multinucleated because they need a lot of genetic material to support their large size and high energy demands. Having multiple nuclei helps the cell efficiently control protein synthesis and repair damage, allowing for better muscle function and growth.
What insoluble fibers?
insoluble fibers can not be broken down by bacteria in the large intestine and doesnt dissolve in water.
Why are synthetic fibers used?
Synthetic Fibers have a number of qualities which natural fibers do not; perhaps the most important being that they make profits for large chemical industries.
Why is cloth not waterproof?
In general, it is because the fibers are not hydrophobic, and the spacing between fibers is too large to keep water out.
