- It occurs when bones lose minerals such as calcium and phosphate more quickly than the body can replace them. The bone material is destroyed by osteoclasts more quickly and it becomes less dense, lose strength and break more easily. Hence, The bone disorder called osteoporosis results from the loss of calcium and phosphate from the bone matrix as In osteoporosis, bone material is destroyed by osteoclasts more quickly than it is laid down by osteoblasts.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
