What are the cells responsible for active erosion of bone minerals?
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
What cells produced by fusion of monocytes?
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.
Which bone cells type is derived from white blood cells?
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.
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.
How does bone development respond when osteoclasts are stimulated more than osteoblasts?
Any of these changes may result if osteoblasts are more active than osteoclasts.
Where are osteoclasts more numerous?
sites of active bone cell activity (living bones)
Where are osteoclasts most abundant?
Bones.
Are osteoblasts or osteoclasts more active in a growing bone?
both are more active because one builds and the other tears down
What are the cells responsible for active erosion of bone minerals?
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
What do most bone cancers increase the activity of?
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
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.
If osteoclasts are more active than osteoblasts?
If osteoclasts are more active than osteoblasts, there is a net decrease in bone density as osteoclasts break down bone tissue faster than osteoblasts can form new bone. This can lead to conditions like osteoporosis where bone becomes weak and brittle. It is important to maintain a balance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity for healthy bone remodeling.
Osteoclasts in bone tissue have what effect?
Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
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
What is released to stimulate osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts are stimulated by several factors, primarily by the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), which is produced by osteoblasts and other cells in the bone. Additionally, parathyroid hormone (PTH) can enhance osteoclast activity indirectly by promoting the expression of RANKL. Other factors such as calcitriol (active vitamin D) and cytokines like interleukin-1 (IL-1) can also contribute to the stimulation of osteoclasts.
What is lined with osteoclasts?
Periosteum
