Atrophy of skeletal tissue refers to the loss of muscle mass and strength due to lack of use or decreased physical activity. It can also occur as a result of aging, injury, or certain medical conditions. Atrophy can be reversed through physical exercise and rehabilitation programs designed to increase muscle mass and improve functional capacity.
Reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue refers to a decrease in bone density or mass, leading to weaker bones that are more prone to fractures. This can be caused by factors such as aging, hormonal changes, lack of physical activity, or certain medical conditions like osteoporosis. Treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, and dietary supplements to help strengthen bones.
The decrease in size of an organ or tissue is known as atrophy. This can occur due to disuse, lack of nourishment, reduced blood flow, or hormonal changes. Atrophy can lead to functional impairment of the affected organ or tissue.
Shrinkage of a tissue through a loss in cell size or number is referred to as atrophy. Atrophy can occur due to disuse, malnutrition, aging, or certain diseases affecting the tissue.

Osteoporosis is the term that describes a reduction in bone density and mass, leading to bones becoming weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures, especially in the elderly.

Atrophy is the wearing away of an organ or tissue because of lack of use. Bone Atrophy, obviously, is atrophy of bones.

atrophy
In denervation (disuse) atrophy, fibrous connective tissue replaces the muscle tissue that was lost. When atrophy is complete, fibrous tissue cannot be reversed to muscle tissue.
skeletal muscle
Yes, skeletal tissue is the only tissue out of musclular and smooth tissue that is voluntary because you do not have to force the others to move.
Skeletal muscle tissue differs from cardiac tissue in that skeletal muscles are striated muscles that require conscious stimulation to act, and cardiac muscles are smooth and basically run "automatically".
