Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are found?
bone
What are cells that are found in small depressions on the endosteal surfaces?
osteoclasts
What are osteoblasts and where are they found?
Osteoblasts are needed to create bone. Osteoclasts destroy bone.
What type of cell breaks down bone tissue?
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.
Which of the following characteristics applies to the cells known as osteoclasts?
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 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 cells are found in small depressions on the endosteal surfaces?
The cells are the osteoclasts, and the name of the shallow depression is the osteoclastic crypt.
What is lined with osteoclasts?
Periosteum
Are osteoblasts and osteoclasts found in the dermis?
The dermis means "skin". These cells are bone building (osteoblasts) and bone breaking down (osteclasts) and would not be found in the skin but in bone tissue.
What bone cells brake bones down?
Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
The cells responsible for the re-absorption of bone are?
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, while osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation.
