osteoclast
Term: osteoclast
Literally meaning: ?what breaks bones?
Origin: Anc Greek
'ï???[õ?/ostoun(=bone)
+????,?/ klao, klo(=break, prune)
Coined/History
Osteoclasts were discovered on bone surface by Swiss anatomist Albert von Kolliker (1817-1905), in 1873. Kolliker named them ?osteoklasts? because of the name of a surgical instrument used to fracture bones, and suggested a role of cells in bone resorption. The origin of osteoclasts since then have been a controversial subject.
Definition
Osteoclast is a multinucleated cell which is associated with deformation of bone. Osteoclasts and osteoblast regulate together the amount of bone mass.
