Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
the bone cells are also called
A
osteoblast
B
osteoclast
C
osteoblest
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoblasts are cuboidal cells that are located along the bone surface comprising 4–6% of the total resident bone cells and are largely known for their bone forming function [22].

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone tissue is maintained by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break down bone called osteoclasts.

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: -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-5: -Osteoblasts are the cells required for bone synthesis and mineralization, both during the initial formation of bone and during bone remodelling. These cells are present on the bone surface in the form of a closely packed layer, from which processes extend from the osteoblast body through the developing bone.
