Question

Did you know? Your entire skeleton is completely replaced every 10 years — bone is continuously broken down and rebuilt by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The result: technically you no longer have a single bone in your body that was there 10 years ago.

Accepted Answer

Your entire skeleton is completely replaced every 10 years — bone is continuously broken down and rebuilt by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The result: technically you no longer have a single bone in your body that was there 10 years ago.

Je hele skelet wordt elke 10 jaar volledig vervangen — bot wordt continu afgebroken en opnieuw aangemaakt door osteoclasten en osteoblasten. Het resultaat: technisch heb je nu niet één bot meer dat 10 jaar geleden in je lichaam zat.
