Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of cells remove extra bone and help with remodeling the bone?
A
osteoclasts
B
osteoblasts
C
chondroblasts
D
phagocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone tissue is continuously remodeled through the concerted actions of bone cells, which include bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts, whereas osteocytes act as mechanosensors and orchestrators of the bone remodeling process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The osteoclasts remove bone by dissolving the mineral and breaking down the matrix in a process that is called bone resorption. The osteoclasts come from the same precursor cells in the bone marrow that produce white blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone remodeling involves the removal of old or damaged bone by osteoclasts (bone resorption) and the subsequent replacement of new bone formed by osteoblasts (bone formation).
