What tissue has chondrocytes and osteocytes?

Cartilage tissue has chondrocytes, which are responsible for synthesizing and maintaining the extracellular matrix of the cartilage. Bone tissue has osteocytes, which are mature bone cells embedded in the mineralized matrix and play a role in bone remodeling and maintenance.

What Cell can build a bony matrix?

osteoblasts. definitely osteoblasts. Though 'osteoclasts' are correct in the sense that they can call for the osteoblasts. But osteoclasts are more directly involved in chewing away at bone.

What are bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix called?

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.


What is the order form from unspecialized stem cells to highly specialized mature bone cells?

The order from unspecialized stem cells to highly specialized mature bone cells involves several stages: first, hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into mesenchymal stem cells. These mesenchymal stem cells then become osteoprogenitor cells, which further differentiate into osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells. As osteoblasts mature, they become embedded in the bone matrix and eventually differentiate into osteocytes, the most specialized bone cells responsible for maintaining bone tissue. This process is regulated by various signals and factors that guide the differentiation at each stage.


Flexible tissue without blood cells that cushions ends of bones?

Cartilage is the flexible tissue without blood cells that cushions the ends of bones, providing smooth joint movement and reducing friction and impact. It is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes embedded in a matrix of collagen and proteoglycans. Cartilage is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels, which contributes to its limited ability to repair and regenerate.


Explain how skeletal bones are formed?

Explain how bone cells embedded in a solid ground substance obtain nutrients and eliminate waste?

Osteocytes are mature bone cells surrounded by matrix which solid bone cell ground substances attach to. Bone cells are in the proximity of blood vessels, just like any other cell in the body. Bones only have cells in their growth areas and in the bone marrow, where blood cells are also produced.
