Explanation:
Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.
Explanation:
Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.
Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.
Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.
Answer:
To observe the cheek cell,
-
Take a tooth pick use its blunt side to scrap inside the mouth.
- You will see some deposition on the blunt side of tooth pick, make a smear on the clean slide in the center using that tooth pick.

- Remove the excess solution and observe it under the microscope first under 4X and then under 10X.
Observation:
