A mature bone cell is called a ____
A
osteon
B
osteocyte
C
osteoclast
D
osteoblast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The first type of bone formed developmentally is primary or woven bone (immature). This immature bone is later replaced by secondary or lamellar bone (mature).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -osteocyte, which is the primary mature bone cell. concentration of the matrix through secretion and enzyme.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bone Lining Cells And Osteocytes By covering the bone surface, they protect it from any osteoclast resorptive activity. They may be reactivated to form osteoblasts. Osteocytes are cells lying within the bone itself and are ‘entrapped’ osteoblasts.
