4 main bone cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what type of bone cell is located in a individual lacunae? | osteocytes |
| mature bone cells are | osteocytes |
| these cells do not divide within lacunae | osteocytes |
| most numerous bone cells are | osteocytes |
| these types of cells maintain bone matrix | osteocytes |
| will participate in the repair of damaged bone | osteocytes |
| can convert to osteoblasts or osteoprogenitor cells | osteocytes |
| types of cells that build bone | osteoblasts |
| thee cells produce new bone matrix by depositing calcium salts and proteins | osteoblasts |
| they become osteocytes once trapped in the matrix | osteoblasts |
| these cells continually divide to produce daughter cells | osteoprogenitor cells |
| a type of stem cells | osteoprogenitor cells |
| osteoprogenitor cells are located in the | - inner cellular layer of the periosteum - the endosteum, which lines the medullary cavity - lining of passageways containing blood vessels |
| these cells breaks down bone | osteoclasts |
| come from cells that produce white blood cells | osteoclasts |
| derived from stem cells that produce monocytes and macrophages | osteoclasts |
| responsible for osteolysis (dissolve bone matrix) | osteoclasts |
| these cells are continually involved in remodeling | osteoblasts and osteoclasts |
| maintains bone shape and composition of bone matrix | osteoclasts |
