Question

Decreased estrogen levels allow osteoclasts to remain active beyond their normal lifespan. Based on this information, which of the following will result from decreased estrogen levels?

Answer 1

Answer:

The bone resorption  will increase

Explanation:

The estrogen normally regulates the amount of osteoclast and their apoptosis, decrease estrogen will lead to decrease in death rate or apoptosis of osteoclast and this will lead to more bone resorption

Function of osteoclast :

These are the bone cells that absorbs the bone and work with the osteoblast(bone cells that build the bone) for maintaining structure of the bone.
