What kind of cell builds bone?
Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)
Similarities between compact bone and spongy bone?
Osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, canaliculi, lamelli
What Bone cells maintain the mineral content of bone?
These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the bone.
Do osteocytes mature into osteoblasts?
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
What colour is the bone cell?
Osteoblasts are basophilic, so are osteoprogenitor(deeper) and osteocytes(paler). While osteoclasts are red
Are nerve cells haploid?
Yes, in humans, all of the bone cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts) are diploid.
What are Cells that produce the matrix of new bone tissue are called?
Osteocytes are bone cells. Special ones that build bone are called osteoblasts (blast=build) and ones that break down bone are called osteoclasts (clasts=break).
What cells responsible for maintaining the daily cellular activities of bone tissue?
Osteoclasts which dissolve old bone cells, Osteoblasts which create new bone cells, and Osteocytes mature bone cells that were once osteoblasts which regulate bone development.
When a bone breaks what consumes the dead bone cell tissues?
Cells in the bone called osteoclasts.
What are the two kinds of bone cells?
Microscopically, bone consists of hard, apparently homogeneous intercellular material, within or upon which can be found four characteristic cell types: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, and undifferentiated bone mesenchymal stem cells.
What do osteoblasts change into?
Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
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.
