Be sure to emphasize the two types of bone tissue and the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Bone physiology is the growth and repair of bones. Bone remodeling is part of this cycle. There are two parts of this cycle‚ bone deposit and bone resorption (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2013). Bone deposit marks areas that need repairing by osteoblasts and bone resorption removes osseous tissue by
