If osteoblast activity is greater than osteoclast activity what is happening to the amount of bone tissue in the body? What is happening to the amount of calcium in blood?**
Answer
- If osteoblast activity is greater than osteoclast activity,
there will be increase amount of bone tissue
formation. The bone will get enlarged with abnormal
outgrowths.
- New bone tissue formed due to overactivity will be much
weaker.
- As osteoblasts deposite blood calcium into the bone, the
calcium levels in the blood will be depleted.
- Due to slow osteoclasts activity, calcium homeostasis will not be
maintained.
