Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Osteoclasts
Concept:

Calcium regulation and bone dissolution.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • To release stored calcium into the blood or reshape bone structures, the hardened matrix must be actively broken down (resorption).


  • This destructive task is performed by Osteoclasts, which are massive, multi-nucleated cells that secrete highly concentrated acids and proteolytic enzymes directly onto the bone surface.


Why other options are incorrect:

Osteoblasts perform the exact opposite function (bone deposition). Osteocytes simply maintain existing bone. 'Osteopores' is a fabricated term.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
