Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass due to a decrease in the laying down of the organic matrix of bone by osteoblasts, which leads to a loss of bone density and strength. This results in increased bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. Abnormal bone calcification and hypocalcaemia are not typical features of osteoporosis, and osteoblast hyperactivity is not associated with this condition.
