Question

question 7 (mandatory) (0.75 points) which of the following is false about osteoclasts? osteoclasts are responsible for osteogenesis osteoclasts have multiple nuclei osteoclasts reside in howships lacunae osteodasts secrete acids that dissolves bone matrix

Explanation:

Osteoclasts are for bone resorption, not formation. Osteoblasts do osteogenesis. Osteoclasts' features include acid - secretion, location in Howship's lacunae and multinucleation.

Answer:

"osteoclasts are responsible for osteogenesis" is FALSE. Osteoblasts are responsible for osteogenesis (bone - formation), while osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption. Osteoclasts secrete acids to dissolve bone matrix, they reside in Howship's lacunae and have multiple nuclei.
