Detailed explanation-1: -They are regarded as post proliferative osteoblasts.
Detailed explanation-2: -osteocyte, a cell that lies within the substance of fully formed bone. It occupies a small chamber called a lacuna, which is contained in the calcified matrix of bone. Osteocytes derive from osteoblasts, or bone-forming cells, and are essentially osteoblasts surrounded by the products they secreted.
Detailed explanation-3: -OSTEOCYTES are cells inside the bone. They also come from osteoblasts. Some of the osteoblasts turn into osteocytes while the new bone is being formed, and the osteocytes then get surrounded by new bone. They are not isolated, however, because they send out long branches that connect to the other osteocytes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bone tissue is maintained by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break down bone called osteoclasts.
