sites of active bone cell activity (living bones)
Any of these changes may result if osteoblasts are more active than osteoclasts.
Osteoclasts with 50 or more nuclei are known as giant or multinucleated osteoclasts. These larger osteoclasts are typically more aggressive in breaking down bone tissue, leading to increased bone resorption activity. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling and turnover, helping to maintain skeletal health.
Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
Osteoclasts degrade bone surfaces so that osteoblasts can produce new bone Also Osteoclasts realese calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream
Osteoclasts. They are a type of phagocytic cell, similar to the macrophage.
both are more active because one builds and the other tears down

Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
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.
The fusion of monocytes gives rise to multinucleated cells known as osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down bone tissue during bone remodeling and resorption processes.
osteoclasts break down bones, osteoblasts build them up
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.
