Demodectic Mange in Dogs. Save to mypetMD. Mange (demodicosis) is an inflammatory disease in dogs caused by various types of the Demodex mite. When the number of mites inhabiting the hair follicles and skin of the dog become exorbitant, it can lead to skin lesions, genetic disorders, problems with the immune system and hair loss (alopecia).
Osteoclasts are found on top of or next to existing bone tissue, sometimes in close proximity to osteoblasts. There is on-going race between the two cell types; osteoblasts make bone tissue while osteoclasts reabsorb it.
Osteoblast: A cell that makes bone. It does so by producing a matrix that then becomes mineralized. Bone mass is maintained by a balance between the activity of osteoblasts that form bone and other cells called osteoclasts that break it down. Last Editorial Review: 5/13/2016.
