After bones have formed via intramembranous or endochondral ossification, what happens to the bone? Bone is continually remodeled by osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
Which is a factor that directly influences bone development, growth, and repair? Hormones
Cells that deposit and form new bone during osteogenesis are called osteoblasts
Vitamin ______ is necessary for the proper absorption of calcium by the body and thus is vital for proper bone formation. D }
