These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the bone.

What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?

The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.


If There are five main types of bone cells in bone tissue what they are?

. Osteogenic cells respond to traumas, such as fractures, by giving rise to bone-forming cells and bone-destroying cells. Osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) synthesize and secrete unmineralized ground substance and are found in areas of high metabolism within the bone. Osteocytes are mature bone cells made from osteoblasts that have made bone tissue around themselves. These cells maintain healthy bone tissue by secreting enzymes and controlling the bone mineral content; they also control the calcium release from the bone tissue to the blood. Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue. They are very important to bone growth, healing, and remodeling. The last type of cells are bone-lining cells. These are made from osteoblasts along the surface of most bones in an adult. Bone-lining cells are thought to regulate the movement of calcium and phosphate into and out of the bone.http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/biology/humananatomy/skeletal/cells.htmlholy cow ur good. thanx, thisll help me on my project. yahoo!


Cells that produce bone tissue are called?

Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.


Which type of cells have a thick mineral matrix in order to provide structural support?

bone cells


What does the osteoclasts do?

Ostioclasts are the cells that lay down the calcium salts that are the bony part of bone. Ostioblasts are the cells that dissolve the bony salts. Note : condroclasts and chondroblasts do the same thing for the collagen matrix of bone. They all work together to form and modify bone.

A mineral needed by bone cells?

A mineral needed by bone cells is called calcium. It is essential for structure, strength, and growth of the bones and bone cells.


Are bones dead?

No. But some parts of the bone are solid mineral and have living cells that monitor them. These solid parts are regularly replaced or reinforced by living cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts) to maintain the strength of the bone.
