osteoblasts, or "bone builders" help to lay new deposits, while osteoclasts, or "bone clearers,' break them down. ( so osteoblasts and osteoclasts)

Which cells in your body can change their shape?

Cells in your body that can change their shape include red blood cells, white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages), and muscle cells (such as muscle fibers). These cells have the ability to alter their shape to carry out their specific functions.


Which statement supports the fact that bone cells are smaller than bone tissue?

Each kind of cell has a unique characteristics such as shape, size, flexibility, color, and texture. Bone cells combine with other bone cells make bone tissue and so on.


What contains cells involved in the growth and what of bone?

Bone growth involves several types of cells, primarily osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation and mineralization, while osteocytes maintain the bone matrix. Osteoclasts play a crucial role in bone resorption, helping to remodel and shape the bone as it grows. Together, these cells work in a coordinated manner to ensure healthy bone development and maintenance.


How does the shape of a bone cell help it to its job?

Bone cells, particularly osteocytes, have long, branching extensions called dendritic processes that allow them to communicate with other bone cells and sense mechanical stress. This star-like shape helps them to maintain bone tissue by facilitating nutrient exchange and signaling for bone remodeling. The interconnected network formed by these processes enables efficient coordination in response to physical forces, ensuring the bone adapts to changes in load and stress effectively.


What does the skeletal system do besides providing shape and support for the body?

Bone marrow also make blood cells.


Is shape-shifting possible?

Only with soft tissue. Consider the puffer fish. If you have a lot of loose soft tissue then you can alter your shape considerably by inflating yourself. When we start to talk about bone, enamal, cartlage, or wood. Then no.


Are bone cells made inside your bone?

yes, i think. how can it be call bone cells if its outside the bone??


Where do bone cells originate from?

Bone cells originate from mesenchymal stem cells, which are multipotent progenitor cells found in the bone marrow and other tissues. These stem cells differentiate into various types of bone cells, including osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), osteocytes (mature bone cells), and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells). The process of differentiation is influenced by various factors, including hormones and mechanical stress on the bones.


Osteoclast cells are defined as?

Bone cells that resorb bone tissue.
