What would the effect on your bones be if you had a greater amount of osteoclasts than osteoblasts? Since bones are mostly made of calcium, how would this affect calcium levels in your blood?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Osteoclasts are the multinucleate bone cell that are responsible for absorbing bone tissue during healing and growth while osteoblasts are the cell responsbile for formation of new bones.

If there will be greater amount of osteoclasts than osteoblasts than the osteoclasts will allow calcium, present in bones to get dissolve which causes deformity of bones known as Osteoporosis (demineralization of the bones).

Due to this the calcium level will increase in the kidney and can cause kidney stone as well.
