Bone contains three types of cells: osteoblasts(pronounced: ahs-tee-uh-blastz), which make new bone and help repair damage; osteocytes (pronounced: ahs-tee-o-sites), which carry nutrients and waste products to and from blood vessels in the bone; and osteoclasts(pronounced: ahs-tee-o-klasts), which break down bone and help to sculpt and shape it.
