Detailed explanation-2: -The primary role of osteoblasts is to lay down new bone during skeletal development and remodelling. Throughout this process osteoblasts directly interact with other cell types within bone, including osteocytes and haematopoietic stem cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osteocytes derive from osteoblasts, or bone-forming cells, and are essentially osteoblasts surrounded by the products they secreted.

Detailed explanation-4: -As bone synthesis proceeds, the osteoblast becomes completely surrounded by matrix referred to as osteoid, and when that matrix becomes mineralized the encased cell is referred to as an osteocyte.
