A schematic histology illustration shows multinucleated osteoclasts (OCs) with multiple purple nuclei attached to a bone surface, forming shallow resorption pits (Howship lacunae) in mineralized matrix containing embedded osteocytes. Depicting a cell within skeletal tissue, the image is relevant to anatomy, histology, and bone physiology. These bone-resorbing cells acidify and degrade the extracellular matrix during the bone remodeling cycle along trabecular or cortical surfaces, while a row of flattened bone-lining cells occupies adjacent quiescent areas.
