How do osteoblasts and osteoclasts assist with bone remodeling?

Answer 1

Once a bone has been formed, it is continuously being remodeled throughout your life.
This process involves the action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, two hormones (calcitonin & parathyroid hormone) which in turn affect blood calcium homeostasis.

The rate of remodeling varies from distal femur being replaced every four months to the diaphysis which may not be fully replaced during one's lifetime.

Bone remodeling/ calcium homeostasis is controlled by the parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.

Other factors include the mineral calcium and vitamin D, C, and vitamin B12.

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts work together to maintain bone density and structure through a process known as bone remodeling. Osteoblasts create new bone tissue, while osteoclasts break down old or damaged bone tissue.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
