38
Q
A

osteoclast

39
Q

_______ are derived from hematopoetic stem cells. The common myeloid precursor differentiate into ganulocyte/monocyte precursor cells – these cells fuse to form a large multinucleated cell which is the _____ precursor. (stimulated by M-CSF, TNF, ILs)

A

osteoclast

40
Q

during maturation of osteoclasts, the _____(receptor) is expressed on osteoclast precursors

A

PTH

42
Q

A

PTH

43
Q

In a condition of low free calcium, persistent/continuous release of ____ acts on osteoblasts to promote osteoclast differentiation and activity

A

PTH

44
Q

osteoclast

45
Q

Intermittent or pulsatile ______release: anabolic effect and increases bone density
therapy now for osteoporosis
