Introduction to Bone

Making Process
The bone making process, also known as ossification, is a complex and intricate
procedure that involves the formation and development of bone tissue. It's a vital
aspect of overall skeletal health and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions.

Osteoclasts: The Bone Remodelers
Bone Resorption
Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down and absorbing bone tissue, allowing for
the removal of old or damaged bone.

Regulation
They play a crucial role in maintaining calcium balance and bone restructuring.

Collaboration
Osteoclasts work in coordination with osteoblasts to maintain bone density and
structure.
Bone Formation and Growth

Bone formation involves the replacement of cartilage with bone tissue, leading to the growth and
development of strong skeletal structures, providing support and protection for vital organs and systems.
