Osteoclasts cut away the calcium from the bones.
Osteoclasts degrade bone surfaces so that osteoblasts can produce new bone Also Osteoclasts realese calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream

Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, while osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation.
The fusion of monocytes gives rise to multinucleated cells known as osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down bone tissue during bone remodeling and resorption processes.
osteoclasts break down bones, osteoblasts build them up
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix by secreting acids and enzymes. They play a key role in bone remodeling and resorption.

osteoclasts
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue in a process known as bone resorption. They secrete acid and enzymes that degrade the bone matrix, allowing for the remodelling and repair of bones.
