The majority of the bone you see is actually extracellular matrix but dispersed within it are cells called osteoblasts. These are usually either individual cells or in very small groups but they are not in any specific locations within the bone.

Cells that build bones?

Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for building bones by secreting the matrix that mineralizes to form bone. They are found in the growing portions of bone and play a crucial role in bone formation and repair.


What kind of cell builds bone?

Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)


What are osteoblasts and where are they found?

Where are the osteoclasts found?

Osteoblasts are most common in the same places you would find an abundance of osteoblasts. This is most often at sites of new bone growth.


Bone building cells?

Bone building cells are called osteoblasts. These osteoblasts are responsible for both building and repairing the bone tissues in the body.


The cell responsible for secreting the matrix of bone is the?

The cell type that is responsible for bone matrix is the Osteoblast. Osteoblast's form a protein mixture known as osteoid, which materializes to become bone. They also manufacture hormones to act on the bone itself.

The bone-forming cells?

The bone-forming cells are called osteoblasts. They are responsible for the production and mineralization of bone tissue. Osteoblasts play a critical role in the formation of new bone during bone growth, remodeling, and repair.


Are osteoblasts or osteoclasts more active in a growing bone?

both are more active because one builds and the other tears down
