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.
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 are bone cells derived from white blood cells, specifically monocytes. Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue during the bone remodeling process.
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.
Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells found in bone tissue. They are responsible for the breakdown and resorption of bone by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineralized matrix of bone. Osteoclasts are derived from the fusion of monocytes/macrophages and are involved in bone remodeling and repair.
OSTEOCLASTS
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 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.

Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue in a process known as bone resorption. They secrete acid and enzymes that degrade the bone matrix, allowing for the remodelling and repair of bones.
