Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts develop osteocytes.
Intramembranous ossification begins when osteoblasts differentiate within a mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue.
Osteoprogenitor cells
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Market
The first stage of bone development is called ossification, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts that secrete collagen and minerals to form bone tissue. This process occurs during fetal development and continues throughout childhood and adolescence.
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.
The cells that build bone are called OSTEOBLASTS.
Cells that make up the mesenchymal tissues of the body ie fibrous connective tissue, cartilage, some of the bone cells, blood vessels etc.
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts
Mesenchymal cells
Three different types of cells are found in bones: osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Good luck!!
