Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoclasts also participate in the long-term maintenance of blood calcium homeostasis. During bone resorption, the osteoclasts resorb the bone surface forming depressions known as Howship’s lacunae.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoblasts are bone-forming cell, osteoclasts resorb or break down bone, and osteocytes are mature bone cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Osteoclasts are responsible for resorbing bone matrix and releasing key minerals, including calcium, back into the bloodstream. They are stimulated by parathyroid hormone when blood calcium levels are low.
Detailed explanation-4: -OSTEOCLASTS are large cells that dissolve the bone. They come from the bone marrow and are related to white blood cells. They are formed from two or more cells that fuse together, so the osteoclasts usually have more than one nucleus. They are found on the surface of the bone mineral next to the dissolving bone.
