For Osteoclasts we have terms and definitions in 2 topics. The topics are Dental and Female Health.

Osteoclasts (Dental)

Cells which help create the sockets in bones. For example osteoclasps create the openings in your jaw bone to hold your teeth.

Osteoclasts (Female Health)

Cells that remove old bone during bone remodeling (a process called “resorption”). Osteo-clastic bone resorption is fast and occurs over about three weeks in any spot in bone. Any weight loss causes increased bone as does excess stress, excess caffeine (in women with low calcium intakes) and colas (because the body uses calcium to help excrete the phosphoric acid they contain).
