Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The remodeling of bone tissue involves both bone formation (osteoblast activity) and bone resorption (osteoclast activity). Osteocytes also play a role in regulating bone remodeling, but are not directly involved in the activity that remodels bone tissue. Chondrocytes and chondroblasts are involved in cartilage formation rather than bone tissue remodeling. Fibroblasts are involved in the production of collagen and extracellular matrix components, but not in bone tissue remodeling.
