Umm... they do.
These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the 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.
Osteocytes become surrounded by bone matrix and are relatively inactive, but do have the capability to produce components needed to maintain the bone matrix if needed. Lacunae osteoblasts change into osteocytes.
Yes, they divide, and as they divide, they create bone matrix and collagen fibers. As the osteoblasts become surrounded by the bone matrix, it hardens, enclosing the cells in a lacuna, transforming them into osteocytes. Osteocytes cannot divide.
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
No, you have it backwards. "Chondro" is the prefix for cartilage while "osteo" is the prefix for bone. Endochondral ossificiation is when the cartilage is replaced by bone, so you would have osteocytes moving into the matrix and replacing the chondrocytes.
Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.

They're called OSTEOCYTES calcifying together in a matrix tissue of bone matter.

yes.
As you know, osteoblasts secrete collagen and organic cmpounds upon which bone is formed. Osteoblasts are incapable of mitosis. As Osteoblasts release matrix materials around themselves, they become enveloped by the matrix and at this point differentiate into Osteocytes.
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
an osteocyte is a bone cellan osteoblast is specific to the building/production of new boneOsteocytes are mature bone cells that maintains the bone matrix. Osteoblasts are immature bone cells that secrete organic components of matrix.
