MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoblasts. 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: -Osteoblasts are derived progressively from mesenchymal progenitors and preosteoblasts, and can further become bone-lining cells and osteocytes. These cells are collectively called osteoblast lineage cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteoblasts are cells responsible for the secretion and deposition of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) into the extracellular matrix during bone formation.
