The ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue is called?
A
Bone Remodeling
B
Bone replacement
C
spongy bone
D
periosteum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone remodeling is a highly complex process by which old bone is replaced by new bone, in a cycle comprised of three phases: (1) initiation of bone resorption by osteoclasts, (2) the transition (or reversal period) from resorption to new bone formation, and (3) the bone formation by osteoblasts [10, 11].

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone remodeling (or bone metabolism) is a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton (a process called bone resorption) and new bone tissue is formed (a process called ossification or new bone formation).

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone remodeling is a physiological process in which old or damaged bone is removed by osteoclasts (i.e., bone-resorbing cells), then replaced by new bone formed by osteoblasts (i.e., bone-forming cells).

Detailed explanation-4: -This process of skeletal change is known as bone remodeling, which both protects the structural integrity of the skeletal system and metabolically contributes to the body’s balance of calcium and phosphorus. Remodeling entails the resorption of old or damaged bone, followed by the deposition of new bone material.
