31. After complete resorption only connective tissue will remain. 32. *Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption , thus they break down bone. 33. Cell culture studies have linked increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation with high intakes. 34. A history of acquired racquet nails ( brachyonychia ) may be indicative of bone resorption . 35. The pits are sites of bone resorption . 36. During childhood, bone formation exceeds resorption . 37. Root resorption is rare but may occur. 38. Tooth restoration is not recommended because resorption of the tooth will continue underneath the restoration. 39. The recovery phase occurs next, with resorption of the leaked fluid into the bloodstream. 40. Increased bone resorption leads to hypercalcemia and causes nephrocalcinosis, thereby contributing to the kidney failure.
