The rate of bone resorption is greater than the rate of bone deposition. The overall activity of osteoclasts is exactly balanced by the overall activity of osteoblasts. The rate of bone resorption is lower than the rate of bone deposition. The overall activity of osteoclasts is lower than the overall activity of osteoblasts The overall activity of osteoclasts is greater than the overall activity of osteoblasts.

Individuals who are physically inactive will have more dense bones. Individuals who are highly engaged in physical activity will have less bone mass.
