Osteoblasts | cells that synthesize and lay down bone then attract calcium and phosphates to strengthen the bone |
Osteoclasts | Reabsorb bone in constant process of bone formation and breakdown |
Osteocytes | Special osteoblasts that sense and respond to bone pressure and bending in order to direct the process of bone remodeling |
