Immature or matrix-depositing bone cells are osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for bone formation by secreting collagen and other proteins that make up the bone matrix. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in bone growth and remodeling.
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.
Typically when the word "matrix" is used in cytological or histological context it referes to the extracellular matrix, which is the area in a tissue not occupied by cells, or the area between cells.
Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called osteocytes. They are responsible for maintaining the bone structure and communicating with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and repair.

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.
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for removing bone matrix during the process of bone remodeling. They break down the mineralized bone matrix by secreting acids and enzymes, allowing for new bone formation by osteoblasts.
Osteocytes, which are bone cells, have a thick mineral matrix composed primarily of calcium and phosphate crystals. This dense matrix provides structural support and strength to bone tissue.
Concentric lamellae
Cells account for only 2% of the weight of a typical bone cell.
Cells that form bones are called osteoblasts.
