What is the anatomical name for bone cells?
The anatomical name for a bone cell is Osteocyte.

What route is taken by nutrients through a bone starting with periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna?
The circulatory system brings blood containing nutrients and oxygen to the periosteum, which covers the bone. The periosteum is a thin membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels. Its main function is to provide nourishment to the bone. From the periosteum, nutrients and oxybgen go through the perforating canals to the central canal, and then to the canaliculi. The osteocyte nearest the central canal passes nutrients to the next osteocyte with arm-like extensions that extend into the canaliculi to the next osteocyte. At the terminal end of each extension, gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of each osteocyte so that nutrients/wastes can be passed between cells to/from the central canal.
What is the difference between adipocyte and a osteocyte?
Mature bone cell; maintains bone but does not produce new bone tissue.
Of the three major types of cells present in bone tissue which one is responsible for bone building?

How does an osteocyte form?
Osteocytes are derived from osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells. In general, osteocytes make up the majority of the mass of adultbone tissue in humans. Each osteocyte within the bone tissue is typically connected to others, which work together to help create a strong matrix of living bone.
