Translations:Osteoklasten/2/en

Their immediate precursor cells accumulate as monocytes at sites of boneresorption and fuse into osteoclasts as required. Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells, have a well developed Golgi apparatus, little endoplasmic reticulum, but are rich in mitochondria and lysosome enzymes. Osteoclasts use proteolytic enzymes to degrade the intercellular substance of bone tissue and absorb the degradation products.
