Yes, bones cells are also called osteocytes.
Mature bone cells are called osteocytes. These cells are responsible for maintaining bone tissue and regulating mineral content.
Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called osteocytes. They are responsible for maintaining the bone structure and communicating with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and repair.

Osteocytes
Bone cells in general are called osteocytes.
false
The statement is partially true. Osteocytes are a specific type of bone cell, but there are other types of bone cells as well, including osteoblasts (which build bone) and osteoclasts (which break down bone). Therefore, while osteocytes are bone cells, the term "bone cells" encompasses a broader category.
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
Osteocytes. These cells are housed within the lacunae of the bone matrix and play a key role in maintaining bone health and structure.
They're called OSTEOCYTES calcifying together in a matrix tissue of bone matter.
Bone cells are not called osteocycles; the correct term for bone cells is "osteocytes." Osteocytes are mature bone cells that originate from osteoblasts and are responsible for maintaining bone tissue. They play a crucial role in the regulation of bone density and mineral content. Other types of bone cells include osteoblasts, which form new bone, and osteoclasts, which break down bone tissue.
Osteocytes and lacunae are found in the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone tissue, not within a specific bone. Osteocytes are the primary cells of mature bone, residing within small cavities called lacunae.
