Whoever wears a Panerai on their wrist calls attention to themselves thanks to the watches' unique designs. These impressive watches range from 42 mm to 48 mm in diameter and are descendants of models from the 1930s and 1950s. During this time, Panerai supplied the Italian marines with their diving instruments.
An osteoclast (from the Greek words for bone (á½ÏÏÎ­Î¿Î½), and broken (ÎºÎ»Î±ÏÏÏÏ)) is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue. This function is critical in the maintenance, repair, and remodelling of bones of the vertebral skeleton.The osteoclast disassembles and digests the composite of hydrated protein and mineral at a molecular level by secreting acid and a collagenase, a process known as bone resorption.his last hormone, IL-6, is one of the factors in the disease osteoporosis, which is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. Osteoclast activity is also mediated by the interaction of two molecules produced by osteoblasts, namely osteoprotegerin and RANK ligand.
The hormones parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin help regulate blood calcium levels. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland inhibits osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblasts, thus decreasing blood calcium levels. Parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands, which are on the posterior side of the thyroid. Parathyroid hormone inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts, reduces the output of calcium by the kidneys and promotes the absorption of calcium by the small intestines, thus increasing blood calcium levels.
