Which of following selections lists bones cells in the order from unspecialized stem cell to highly specialized mature bone cell?
The correct order is as follows: Mesenchymal stem cell - an unspecialized stem cell that can differentiate into various cell types, including bone cells. Osteoprogenitor cell - a partially differentiated cell that is committed to becoming a bone cell. Osteoblast - a bone-forming cell that synthesizes and secretes the matrix of bone. Osteocyte - a mature bone cell that maintains the structure and function of bone tissue.
Is bone cell that maintains and monitors the mineral content?
Osteocyte cells maintain and monitor the mineral content of the surrounding matrix.
What is a connective tissue with stony hard matrix?
Bone.
What is Osteoid tissue?
The organic component of the matrix of bones
What are the cells of the bone?
They're called OSTEOCYTES calcifying together in a matrix tissue of bone matter.
What is the medical term meaning cell that is responsible for dissolving bone to enlarge the marrow cavity?
Osteoclasts: type of bone cell that removes bone tissue by removing its mineralized matrix and breaking up the organic bone.
What important difference between single bone cell and the bone tissue in a human femur bone?
A bone cell is a living cell, but bone tissue includes a non-living matrix
What cell does vitamn d signal to breakdown bone matrix?
The cell that breaks down bone is called the osteoclast.
What is one important difference between a single bone and the bone tissue in a human femur bone?
A bone cell is a living cell, but bone tissue includes a non-living matrix
Is a mature bone cell formed when an osteoblast becomes surrounded by its own matrix and entrapped in a lacuna?
An osteocyte is a mature bone cell formed when an osteoblast becomes surrounded by its own matrix and entrapped in a lacuna.Osteocytesosteocyte
What is the percentage of cells in the bone matrix?
Cells account for only 2% of the weight of a typical bone cell.
What are mature bones cells embedded in the bone matrix?
Osteocyte: a cell that is characteristic of adult bone and is isolated in a lacuna of the bone substance
What bone cell absorbs and remove unwanted bone tissue?
Osteoclasts are the bone cells that remove bone tissue, or more properly termed bone matrix.
The cell responsible for secreting the matrix of bone is the?
The cell type that is responsible for bone matrix is the Osteoblast. Osteoblast's form a protein mixture known as osteoid, which materializes to become bone. They also manufacture hormones to act on the bone itself.
What is the meaning of osteoclyte?
An osteocyte is a bone cell. It can live as long as the bone exists in the body, and it works to break down old bony matrix so that new matrix can take it's place.
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 is bone forming cell called?
osteoblast osteoblast osteoblastThe actual term for bone forming cells is osteoblasts. Once they mature, they then are called osteocytes and maintain the bone matrix.
