Bone homeostasis and remodeling:- Osteoclasts are derived from the same mononuclear cells that differentiate into _____ - Osteoblast/stromal cell membrane-associated _____ binds to its receptor _____ (receptor activator for NF-KB) located on the cell surface of osteoclast precursors - This interaction in the background of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (_____) causes the precursor cells to produce functional osteoclasts - Stromal cells also secrete osteoprotegrin (_____), which acts as a "decoy" receptor for RANKL, preventing it from binding the RANK receptor on osteoclast precursors - Consequently, OPG prevents bone _____ by inhibiting _____ differentiation
