Study Notes
Resorption
- Resorption is the process by which cells or tissue are absorbed into the circulatory system.
- Osteoclasts, a type of bone cell, are primarily responsible for the resorption of bone tissue.
- This process can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis, where bones become weak and brittle.
- Regular monitoring and detection of bone density can help in the early identification of underlying issues.
