The bone cells that break down bone are called osteoclasts (bone+breaker).
There are others called osteoblasts (bone+builder) which build bone. Usually there are about equal numbers of them in your body.
They are always breaking and rebuilding in a process called bone remodeling. This is a life long process and your body will replace bones at a 10% rate per year.
As you grow older, the osteoclasts out number the osteoblasts and the process of osteopenia (less dense bone) and osteoporosis ( weak bone or bone+holes) occurs.

Bone forming cells?
A cell that are bone forming
What are immature or matrix-depositing bone cells?
Osteoblasts are immature bone-forming cells.
The bone-forming cells?
osteoblasts. osteo meaning bone and blast meaning to create
Cells that produce bone tissue are called?
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
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!

What is bone forming cell called?
osteoblast osteoblast osteoblastThe actual term for bone forming cells is osteoblasts. Once they mature, they then are called osteocytes and maintain the bone matrix.

What is the medical term for bone producing?
Bone forming cells are known as osteoblasts. Osteoblasts work in groups, and it's their job to create new bone material.
What is the cancer of the bone?
Bone marrow cancer is defined as the cancerous growth of cell or malignant cells which develop in the blood forming cells of the bone marrow which is the soft tissue in the center of the bones in the body. It is important to note that bone marrow cancer includes leukemias, multiple myeloma, and others.
