The cells that build bone are called OSTEOBLASTS.
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
Bone building cells are called osteoblasts. These osteoblasts are responsible for both building and repairing the bone tissues in the body.
they are called : Osteoblasts
The bone cells that break down bone are called osteoclasts (bone+breaker). There are others called osteoblasts (bone+builder) which build bone. Usually there are about equal numbers of them in your body.They are always breaking and rebuilding in a process called bone remodeling. This is a life long process and your body will replace bones at a 10% rate per year.As you grow older, the osteoclasts out number the osteoblasts and the process of osteopenia (less dense bone) and osteoporosis ( weak bone) occurs.
As far as I know they are called osteoprogenitors.
Osteoblasts.
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts develop osteocytes.
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).
