Well, honey, you're not too far off the mark. Osteoblasts do indeed arise from mesenchymal stem cells. These mesenchymal cells have the magical ability to differentiate into various cell types, including our bone-building buddies, the osteoblasts. So, cheers to your almost-correct assumption!
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
As far as I know they are called osteoprogenitors.
Flat bones such as the skull, clavicle, and sternum form by intramembranous bone formation, where bone is formed directly within a membrane without cartilage precursor. This process involves the differentiation of osteoblasts from mesenchymal stem cells and their subsequent mineralization to form bone.
Osteoclasts originate from the fusion of monocytes/macrophages and are involved in bone resorption. Osteoblasts, on the other hand, arise from mesenchymal stem cells and are responsible for bone formation. This differentiation in origin allows for the distinct functions of these two cell types in bone remodeling.
Osteoblasts are the cells derived from osteoprogenitor cells that are responsible for producing new bone tissue through the process of ossification. These cells play a critical role in bone formation and remodeling by secreting the matrix needed for bone mineralization.
Intramembranous ossification begins when osteoblasts differentiate within a mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue.
Osteoblasts
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
The order from unspecialized stem cells to highly specialized mature bone cells involves several stages: first, hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into mesenchymal stem cells. These mesenchymal stem cells then become osteoprogenitor cells, which further differentiate into osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells. As osteoblasts mature, they become embedded in the bone matrix and eventually differentiate into osteocytes, the most specialized bone cells responsible for maintaining bone tissue. This process is regulated by various signals and factors that guide the differentiation at each stage.

Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts develop osteocytes.

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.
Osteoblasts are the cells derived from osteoprogenitor cells that are responsible for producing new bone tissue through the process of ossification. These cells play a critical role in bone formation and remodeling by secreting the matrix needed for bone mineralization.
Steps: 1. Mesenchyme cells differentiate into osteoblasts and start to secrete matrix 2. Osteoblasts form spicules of matrix 3. Spicules trap osteoblasts in lacuna 4. Activity slows 5. Trapped osteoblasts called osteocytes 6. Bone growth proceeds outward from center (ossification center) 7. Spicules thicken into trabeculae (spongy bone) 8. Trabeculae connect (compact bone)
