Detailed explanation-1: -Osteocytes, the cells residing within the bone matrix and comprising 90% to 95% of the all bone cells, have long been considered quiescent bystander cells compared to the osteoblasts and osteoclasts whose activities cause bone gain and loss, and whose dysfunction lead to growth defects and osteoporosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -1: Four types of bone cells: Four types of cells are found within bone tissue. Osteogenic cells are undifferentiated and develop into osteoblasts. When osteoblasts get trapped within the calcified matrix, their structure and function changes; they become osteocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osteocytes (Ot) are located within lacunae surrounded by mineralized bone matrix (B).
Detailed explanation-4: -osteocyte, which is the primary mature bone cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Osteocytes. Osteocytes and bone lining cells are terminally differentiated osteoblasts derived from mature osteoblasts that are no longer involved in active bone formation, and have become entrapped within the canaliculi of the bone matrix that they have produced.
