Bone reaches its maximum mass by age 25 to 30. After that, bone mass begins to decline gradually. As for women, loss of bone is dramatically accelerated during the first 5 to 10 years after menopause when women can lose as much as 30% of their skeleton!” – University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre

Osteoclastsare bone-resorbing cells ("-clast" means to break; osteoclasts break down bone). They are large, multinucleate cells that form through the fusion of precursor cells. Unlike osteoblasts, which are related to fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells, osteoclasts are descended from stem cells in the bone marrow that also give rise to monocytes. Osteoblastsare bone-forming cells. They are connective tissue cells found at the surface of bone. They can be stimulated to proliferate and differentiate as osteocytes. Osteocytesare bone cells. Osteocytes manufacture type I collagen and other substances that make up the bone extracellular matrix. Osteocytes will be found enclosed in bone. TYPES OF BONE CELLS
