Why would we need dissolving cells in our bones?
Bone mass is constantly renewed to ensure maintainece of strength - If bone was formed and left it would lose much strength over time. When bones break they are built again and scuplted away by osteoclasts based on the mechanical stress points on the bone, so these bone cleaving cells also play an important role in fracture healing.
Why would there be a need to decrease osteoblast activity in the event there is a bone fractre?Krob2001 18:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
