MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone-forming cells, termed osteoblasts, are cells that produce the type I collagen-enriched extracellular matrix found in the skeleton.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osteoblasts are cells responsible for the secretion and deposition of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) into the extracellular matrix during bone formation.

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.
