Drag steps to their correct positions:

Osteoclasts are activated and attach to bone surface, creating a sealing zone
Osteoclasts secrete acids and enzymes to dissolve mineralized matrix (resorption)
Resorption phase completes, creating a resorption pit (Howship's lacuna)
Osteoblasts are recruited to the site and begin secreting osteoid (unmineralized matrix)
Osteoid undergoes mineralization with calcium and phosphate deposition
Osteoblasts become trapped in matrix and differentiate into osteocytes

About Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous process where old bone is removed by osteoclasts and new bone is formed by osteoblasts. This process maintains bone strength, repairs microdamage, and regulates calcium homeostasis. It occurs in cycles that take 3-6 months to complete.
