    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.
