what is recycling of bones called?

Answer 1

are you asking in terms of how the human body degrades and regenerates bone or when you grind-up an animal skeleton and spread it on dirt? cells called osteoclasts breakdown bone minerals releasing calcium and phosphate. osteoblasts rebuild bone. osteoclasts are modified macrophages. if you go to your doctor you should ask him or her about chemistry test performed on serum to detect calcium or phosphate. both might indicate if bone is being broken down at a high level as takes place in osteoporosis. there is a chemistry test performed to detect the enzyme alkaline phosphatase that will indicate bone breakdown. when the test is correlated with abnormal calcium and phosphate

Answer 2

How do you mean? when they are ground up and sold in fertilizer as bone meal for the phosphate content or when the mice chew them to bits and poop them out as organic fertilizer.
