  2. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    The osteoclast then induces an infolding of its cell membrane and secretes collagenase and other enzymes important in the resorption process. High levels of calcium , magnesium , phosphate and products of collagen will be released into the extracellular fluid as the osteoclasts tunnel into the mineralized bone.

  3. Osteoclast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoclast

    An osteoclast is a large multinucleated cell and human osteoclasts on bone typically have four nuclei [5] and are 150–200 μm in diameter. When osteoclast-inducing cytokines are used to convert macrophages to osteoclasts, very large cells that may reach 100 μm in diameter occur. These may have dozens of nuclei, and typically express major ...

  4. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    All cells within the blood clot degenerate and die. Within this area, the fibroblasts replicate. Within 7–14 days, they form a loose aggregate of cells, interspersed with small blood vessels, known as granulation tissue. [citation needed] Osteoclasts move in to reabsorb dead bone ends, and other necrotic tissue is removed. [6]

  5. Bone remodeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling

    Bone tissue is removed by osteoclasts, and then new bone tissue is formed by osteoblasts. Both processes utilize cytokine (TGF-β, IGF) signalling.In osteology, 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).

  6. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    The hematopoietic cells are most sensitive to low oxygen and are the first to die after reduction or removal of the blood supply, usually within 12 hours. [2] Experimental evidence suggests that bone cells (osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts etc.) die within 12–48 hours, and that bone marrow fat cells die within 5 days. [2]

    In anoxic conditions they usually die within 12 hours. Experimental evidence suggests that bone cells composed of osteocytes, osteoclasts, and osteoblasts die within 12–48 hours, and marrow fat cells die within 120 hours. [17] The death of bone does not alter its radiographic opacity nor its mineral density.

  9. Osteoporosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis

    Osteoclasts are assisted by transcription factor PU.1 to degrade the bone matrix, while osteoblasts rebuild the bone matrix. Low bone mass density can then occur when osteoclasts are degrading the bone matrix faster than the osteoblasts are rebuilding the bone. [99] [102]
