Osteoblasts are cells that are mainly known for making bone. Also, they break down old and weak bone cells.
Osteoblasts are cells that help construct bones. However, they do not stop working after your skeleton has finished growing. There is another type of cell known as the osteocyte that destroys small areas of bone, which are then filled in by the osteoblasts. Through this system the skeleton is reinforced and reconstructed constantly, so that weak or old spots are replaced and broken bones heal.

What does osteogenic mean?
1. derived from or made up of bone-forming tissue. 2. of or pertaining to osteogenesis.
Bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum The inner osteogenic layer consists primarily of?
It is true that bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum. The inner layer is made up mostly of osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
What does the osteogenic layer of bone consist of?
If you're taking the class I think you are, according to your notes and other sources the answer would be either the endosteum or the periosteum
What are the types of bone tumors?
Two types of tumors are benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are usually harmless and grow at a slow rate. However, they can grow larger and become problematic. Malignant tumors are the opposite, growing at a fast rate and causing serious health problems.
What is the function of osteogenic cells?
These cells are found in the periosteum and endosteum. They are cells capable of differentiating into osteoblasts or osteoclasts during times of mechanical stress or injury
What bone cell is an undifferentiated stem cell?
Osteogenic cell
What has the author Alexandra Lenore Herbertson written?
Alexandra Lenore Herbertson has written: 'The rat bone marrow stromal cell osteogenic system'
Is spindle cell sarcoma benign or malignant?
Telengiectatic osteogenic sarcoma is a malignant condition. Telengiectatic ostegenic sarcoma is usually caused by metastasis from pelvic malignancy that has spread to the bone.
Put the bones cells in order of their maturation from unspecialized to specialized?
Osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocytes
What cancer did terry have?
Terry Fox had cancer called Osteogenic Sarcoma, which spread to his lungs.
Which of following selections lists bones cells in the order from unspecialized stem cell to highly specialized mature bone cell?
The correct order is as follows: Mesenchymal stem cell - an unspecialized stem cell that can differentiate into various cell types, including bone cells. Osteoprogenitor cell - a partially differentiated cell that is committed to becoming a bone cell. Osteoblast - a bone-forming cell that synthesizes and secretes the matrix of bone. Osteocyte - a mature bone cell that maintains the structure and function of bone tissue.
What does osteogenic mean?
1. derived from or made up of bone-forming tissue. 2. of or pertaining to osteogenesis.
Bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum The inner osteogenic layer consists primarily of?
It is true that bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called periosteum. The inner layer is made up mostly of osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
What are the demographics of osteogenic sarcoma?
Osteogenic sarcoma is most commonly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, with a peak incidence in the second decade of life. It affects males slightly more often than females. There is no specific racial or ethnic predilection for osteogenic sarcoma.
When did Terry Fox's leg get amputated?
His right leg was amputated in 1977 after he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer)
Where are osteogenic zones seen?
Osteogenic zones are primarily seen in the growth plates of long bones, also known as the epiphyseal plates. These zones of specialized cartilage allow for bone growth during development. The different zones within the growth plate are responsible for various stages of bone formation and resorption.
What does the osteogenic layer of bone consist of?
If you're taking the class I think you are, according to your notes and other sources the answer would be either the endosteum or the periosteum
