It is essential for maintaining the bone mass necessary to support the skeleton. The body is also constantly using calcium in muscle and nerve functions as well as to carry out functions in the heart. If a persons diet does not include enough calcium to replace what is used, the body will pull from the stored supply of calcium in the bones, weakening them and increasing the risk of fracture.

Osteoclasts are large cells with more than one nucleus. In normal bone, bone formation and bone resorption are closely coupled processes involved in the normal remodeling of bone. In osteoporosis, the net rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation, resulting in a decrease in bone mass without a defect in bone mineralization. ]]> 2017-10-30 22:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/slaw0289/pqz1x1ix2q7i/wish/201952889 osteoblast slaw0289 https://padlet.com/slaw0289/pqz1x1ix2q7i/wish/201952928  Osteoblast is a large cell responsible for the synthesis and mineralization of bone during both initial bone formation and later bone remodeling. Osteoblasts form a closely on the surface of the bone. Osteoblast makes bone by producing a matrix that then becomes mineralized. Bone mass is maintained by a balance between the activity of osteoblasts that form bone and other cells called osteoclasts that break it down.
