Which of the following is caused by the release of insulin?

A. Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, not formation. Increased osteoclast activity leads to excessive bone breakdown, not enhanced formation.

B. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation. In osteoporosis, osteoblast activity is not increased; rather, it is osteoclast activity that is dysregulated, leading to bone loss.

C. Enhanced bone formation is typically seen in conditions like osteopetrosis or during bone healing. Osteoporosis is characterized by an imbalance in favor of bone resorption, not formation.

D. Osteoporosis is characterized by increased bone resorption, which is primarily driven by osteoclast activity. This leads to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk of fractures.

A. While inflammation plays a role in restoring functional cells, it is not the ultimate goal. The primary purpose of inflammation is to prepare the site for healing, which includes clearing out damaged cells and pathogens.

B. Inflammation is a vital process that helps prepare the site for healing by facilitating the removal of dead tissue and pathogens, allowing for tissue repair. It also promotes the formation of new tissue.

C. Platelet aggregation and clotting are part of the inflammatory process, but the ultimate goal of inflammation is not to increase platelets but to prepare the site for repair and healing.

D. Inflammatory mediators typically cause vasodilation to increase blood flow to the affected area, not vasoconstriction. This helps deliver nutrients, oxygen, and immune cells to the site of injury.
