What is the function of osteogenic cells?

Osteogenic cells are responsible for forming new bone tissue through the process of bone formation or ossification. They differentiate into osteoblasts which then deposit bone matrix to build new bone. Osteogenic cells play a key role in bone growth, repair, and remodeling.


Is bone repair and bone remodeling the same process?

well in fractuactilicate terms, no but technically yes due to the function


The bone resorbing cells are called?

Osteoclasts are the bone-resorbing cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue. They play a critical role in bone remodeling and maintenance of calcium balance in the body.


Bone forming cells?

Bone-forming cells are known as osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for the production and mineralization of bone tissue. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in the bone remodeling process, where old bone is resorbed and new bone is formed.


Which bone cells type is derived from white blood cells?

Osteoclasts are bone cells derived from white blood cells, specifically monocytes. Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue during the bone remodeling process.


What are cells that break down bone tissue called?

Cells that break down bone tissue are called osteoclasts. They are specialized cells responsible for resorption of bone tissue during bone remodeling and repair processes.


Thin layer of connective tissue lined with the medullary cavity of a long bone?

Endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the medullary cavity of a long bone. It contains osteoprogenitor cells that differentiate into osteoblasts to aid in bone growth and repair. Its function is to support bone growth and remodeling by providing a surface for bone-forming cells.


What control bone remodeling?

Mechanical stress and hormones control bone remodeling.


What are immature or matrix-depositing bone cells?

Immature or matrix-depositing bone cells are osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for bone formation by secreting collagen and other proteins that make up the bone matrix. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in bone growth and remodeling.


How have bone cells adapted to their function?

It depends on what sort of bone cell you are talking about. Osteoblasts are specialized in so far as they form new bone only, osteoclasts digest bone for remodeling however cannot form new bone. However, there are other cells in bone, such as hemaotpoietic stem cells in the bone marrow that are only specialized in so far as they produce blood cells.


What is the function of the small holes in the bone surface?

The small holes in the bone surface are called osteocytes and they are responsible for nutrient and waste exchange. They help in maintaining bone health by communicating with neighboring cells and facilitating repair and remodeling processes within the bone tissue.


What do you call the cells in the skeletal system?

They are called osteocytes. Bone building cells are called osteoblasts and those that break down bone are called osteoclasts. You are constantly remodeling your bones.
