Detailed explanation-1: -There are three types of cells that contribute to bone homeostasis. 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: -At the end of a bone formation cycle, a subpopulation of osteoblasts becomes osteocytes incorporated into the bone matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteocytes maintain bone mass through anabolic activities and even as a dying osteocyte, they promote bone repair through recruitment of osteoclast mediated turnover.
