This type of bone cell allows your bones to preform their daily functions.

Osteocytes

This type of bone cell becomes an osteocyte.

Osteoblasts

This type of bone cell can do mitosis.

Osteogenic cells

This type of bone cell creates osteoblasts.

Osteogenic cells

This type of bone cell creates the matrix of bones.

Osteoblasts

This type of bone cell get buried and becomes another type of bone cell.

Osteoblasts

This type of bone cell is a stem cell.

Osteogenic cells

This type of bone cell is considered a “mature” bone cell.

Osteocytes

This type of bone cell is in the epiphyseal plates and on the periosteum. 

Osteoblasts

This type of bone cell is in the periosteum and endosteum (don’t pick osteogenic cells)

Osteoclasts

This type of bone cell is located inside the spongy bone AND compact bone.

Osteocytes

This type of bone cell removes dead bone cell after a fracture.

Osteoclasts

This type of bone cell shaves away old bone when your bones are growing wider.

Osteoclasts

This type of bone cell translates into “bone break.”

Osteoclasts

This type of bone cell translates into “bone cell.”

Osteocytes

This type of bone cell translates into “bone produce.”
