Yes, they divide, and as they divide, they create bone matrix and collagen fibers. As the osteoblasts become surrounded by the bone matrix, it hardens, enclosing the cells in a lacuna, transforming them into osteocytes. Osteocytes cannot divide.

The cell responsible for secreting the matrix of bone is the?
The cell type that is responsible for bone matrix is the Osteoblast. Osteoblast's form a protein mixture known as osteoid, which materializes to become bone. They also manufacture hormones to act on the bone itself.
Cells that produce bone tissue are called?
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
Why do osteoclasts have an independent origin than osteoblasts?
Stress derived = Osteoclast Growth derived = Osteoblasts
Do osteocytes become osteoblasts when they are completely surrounded by bony matrix?
As you know, osteoblasts secrete collagen and organic cmpounds upon which bone is formed. Osteoblasts are incapable of mitosis. As Osteoblasts release matrix materials around themselves, they become enveloped by the matrix and at this point differentiate into Osteocytes.
What Cell can build a bony matrix?
osteoblasts. definitely osteoblasts. Though 'osteoclasts' are correct in the sense that they can call for the osteoblasts. But osteoclasts are more directly involved in chewing away at bone.
Do osteocytes mature into osteoblasts?
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
What do osteoblasts change into?
Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
What are the squamous cells that develop into osteoblasts?
Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts develop osteocytes.
What cells synthesize the organic components of the bone matrix?
Osteoblasts
What kind of cell builds bone?
Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)
What are osteoblasts and where are they found?
Osteoblasts are needed to create bone. Osteoclasts destroy bone.
What types of cells build bone?
The cells that build bone are called OSTEOBLASTS.
