Most bone cancers increase the activity of what?
Most bone cancers increase the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue. This leads to bone destruction and weakened bones in individuals with bone cancer.
What are bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix called?
Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.
What is the name of the cavity that contains the bone cells themselves?
Bone cells, osteocytes, reside in cavities within compact bone called lacunae.
What are the cells of bone tissue called?
Osteocytes
What are the cells of the bone?
They're called OSTEOCYTES calcifying together in a matrix tissue of bone matter.
What is the name of the cell responsible for bone resorption?
Bone resorbing cells are known as osteoclasts. Immature bone cells are referred to as osteoblasts. Mature bone cells are called osteocytes.

What types of cells build bone?
The cells that build bone are called OSTEOBLASTS.
What is bone destroying cells are called?
None. Are you thinking of ostioblasts? They destroy bone, but not cells.
What does a bone cells look like?
There are three types of bone cells. The first one is called an osteoclast, and is a large cell that dissolves the bone. The second is osteoblasts and these are cells that form new bone. The last type is called osteocytes and these are cells that are found inside the bone.
Cells that produce bone tissue are called?
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
A mineral needed by bone cells?
A mineral needed by bone cells is called calcium. It is essential for structure, strength, and growth of the bones and bone cells.
What are bones cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood called?
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
What are bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix called?
Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.
The bone cells communicate with other bone cells through small channels called?
haversian canals
Bone building cells?
Bone building cells are called osteoblasts. These osteoblasts are responsible for both building and repairing the bone tissues in the body.
What is the name of the cavity that contains the bone cells themselves?
Bone cells, osteocytes, reside in cavities within compact bone called lacunae.
