GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoblasts are cells responsible for the secretion and deposition of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) into the extracellular matrix during bone formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoblasts work in teams to build bone. They produce new bone called “osteoid” which is made of bone collagen and other protein. Then they control calcium and mineral deposition. They are found on the surface of the new bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoblasts are bone-forming cell, osteoclasts resorb or break down bone, and osteocytes are mature bone cells. An equilibrium between osteoblasts and osteoclasts maintains bone tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -osteoblast, large cell responsible for the synthesis and mineralization of bone during both initial bone formation and later bone remodeling. Osteoblasts form a closely packed sheet on the surface of the bone, from which cellular processes extend through the developing bone.
