the cells that make up bone are osteocytes
_____
Yes, osteocytes are the cells found within bone. Osteocytes are in fact osteoblasts that have been trapped in the bone matrix that they produce. In answer to the question at hand, "what cells make bones", the answer is osteoblasts.

∙ 7y agoThe 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) occurs.

What types of tissues make up the skeletal system?
the tissues in the skeletal system are *bones *cartilage *ligaments
How do ligaments and skeletal system work together?
The tendons are part of the muscular system!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another answer would be , the tendons are the connection between the muscular and skeletal system , being connective tissue ,neither bone or muscle , but since the greater part of most tendons are attached to the muscle , and are only anchored to bone, then that would make them part of the muscular system.
What organ system does the tendons belong to?
Connective tissue does not belong to any one system, rather, it refers to one of the four types of tissue that make up nearly every organ in the human body. For example, the connective tissue found in ligaments and tendons are a part of the musculoskeletal system, but connective tissue also surrounds the stomach, anchoring the epidermal tissue of the stomach lining to the body.
Which organs make up the skeletal system?
The bones of the skeletal system include all 206 bones in the human body. Additionally, the skeletal system is supported by joints and ligaments which keep the bones together and offer extra flexibility and structure.
What are four basic types of tissues in animals?
The four main types are epithelial, connective, muscular, and neural (nervous) tissue.These types are further subdivided. For example, there are three types of muscular tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.(see related link)

What is skeletal muscle tissue?
Skeletal tissue is one of the three types of muscle tissues. This tissues are striated and are attached to the skeleton. Skeletal or striated muscle is called voluntary because willed or voluntary control of skeletal muscle contractions is possible. When viewed under a microscope, skeletal muscle is characterized by many cross striations and many nuclei per cell. Individual cells are long and threadlike and are often called fibers. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and when contracted produce voluntary and controlled body movements.
What are the similarities between cardiac and smooth muscle?
There are 3 types of muscle tissue: Skeletal (the muscle tissue on bones) Smooth (internal organ make-up) Cardiac (heart)
What system does marrow belong?
The skeletal system itself is an organ system. Some schemes combine the skeletal system with the muscular system to make the musculoskeletal system.
Type of tissue that make up muscle?
There are three types of muscle tissue: cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and smooth muscle. What we associate with cardiac muscle is the muscle tissue in your heart. The skeletal muscles are the ones that make your body move under voluntary control. And, smooth muscle is involuntary and moves things inside your body, like in your gastrointestinal tract.
What is the part of skeletal system?
bones make up the skeletal system -what part do you want ?
Bones are tissues that make up the skeletal or muscular system?
Bones are tissues that make up skeletal system.
Where in the body can the bone cell be found?
Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.
What is a voluntary muscle tissue?
This is muscle tissue that you have to think to make it move. Another name for it is skeletal muscle.
What all in your body make the skeletal system?
The answer is bones, that is what makes up the skeletal system. which is what i said!
What are the two systems which make up the musculoskeletal system?
You have muscular system, made of muscles and skeletal system, made of bones; which make up the musculoskeletal system.
What type of tissue makes up the biceps muscle?

The skeletal muscles are the ones that make Type_of_tissue_that_make_up_musclemove under voluntary control. And, smooth muscle is involuntary and moves things inside your body, like in your gastrointestinal tract.
