Question

Which type of cells recycle the calcium and phosphate stored there?
A)bone cells
B)fat cells
C)muscle cells
D)nervous cells
E)blood cells

Accepted Answer

Bone cells, specifically osteoclasts and osteoblasts, are responsible for recycling calcium and phosphate stored in bone tissue. Osteoclasts break down bone tissue and release calcium and phosphate into the bloodstream, while osteoblasts deposit new bone tissue and incorporate calcium and phosphate from the bloodstream into the new tissue.
