Answer:

These cells cause the reabsorption of bone, thus helping to regenerate bone

Explanation:

Osteoclasts are the cells that serve in the process of bone reabsorption. These cells perform the breakdown of extracellular matrix of bone and release the calcium into the blood. The activity of osteoclast cells is under regulation of calcitonin and parathyroid hormones. Calcitonin inhibits its activity while the parathyroid hormone serves to stimulate these cells to carry out bone reabsorption and bone regeneration.
