Osteoclasts

Explanation

Cells involved in bone tissue breakdown.

What is the name of the process where bone tissue is replaced by new bone tissue?

Remodeling

Explanation

Replacement of old bone with new tissue.

Which hormone stimulates osteoclast activity and increases blood calcium levels?

Parathyroid hormone

Explanation
