an osteocyte is a bone cell
an osteoblast is specific to the building/production of new bone
Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintains the bone matrix. Osteoblasts are immature bone cells that secrete organic components of matrix.
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts which maintain the bone structure.
Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts develop osteocytes.
osteocytes which are type of osteoblasts .
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.
Osteocytes are bone cells responsible for maintaining bone tissue, but they do not directly produce collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are mainly secreted by osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells. Osteocytes play a role in regulating the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts are bone cells responsible for building and maintaining the mineral content of bone. They help produce new bone tissue and regulate the deposition of minerals like calcium and phosphate.
Osteoclasts which dissolve old bone cells, Osteoblasts which create new bone cells, and Osteocytes mature bone cells that were once osteoblasts which regulate bone development.
