Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -OSTEOBLASTS are the cells that form new bone. They also come from the bone marrow and are related to structural cells. They have only one nucleus. Osteoblasts work in teams to build bone.
Detailed explanation-2: -They are found on the surface of bone tissue and originate from white blood cells (monocytes and macrophages) rather than from other bone cells. Osteoclasts constantly break down and reabsorb old bone tissue, while osteoblasts form new bone tissue. Together, these two cells control the gradual reshaping of the bones.
