Questions and Answers

How do bisphosphonates and denosumab affect osteoclast function?

  • Decrease apoptosis
  • Enhance bone resorption
  • Promote osteoclast differentiation
  • Increase apoptosis (correct)

What is compromised in patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy?

  • Osteoblastic activity
  • Bone formation
  • Osteoclastic resorption (correct)
  • Bone mineralization

What is the role of osteoclasts in the action of bisphosphonates?

  • Osteoclasts stimulate the production of bone-building cells
  • Osteoclasts promote the growth of new bone tissue
  • Osteoclasts are not involved in the action of bisphosphonates
  • Osteoclasts take up the drug during bone remodeling (correct)
