|
osteoblasts
|
bone forming cells that build bone throughout adult life- they take excesses of calcium and phosphorus and vit. D and make bone matrix thus reducing blood levels of calcium, vit. D and phosphorus back into a normal homeostatic range.
|
|
osteoclasts
|
large multinuclated cells that break down the calcified matirx of bone matrix when the calcium , vit. D and phosphorus levels decreases- thus releasing those components into the blood thus raising blood levels of calcium, vit. D and phosphours back to the normal homeostatic ranges when dietary levels are too low.
