Correct Answer: PTH acts directly on osteoclasts
Description: Ans b: (PTH acts directly onosleoclasts) Ref: Harrisson 17th edition p 2367OsteoblastsSynthesize & secrete matrixMesenchymal originSeen on surface of new boneOsteoblast derived matrix when mineralized is osteocyteMineralisation depends on osteoblast derived ALP (marker of blast)Controls1.
