What are osteoblasts?

Osteoblasts are cells that come from bone marrow and contribute to the production of a new bone. These cells create a bone structure matrix and also play a role in the mineralization of the bone matrix. The bone is constantly built and decomposed by the body, which makes osteoblasts quite critical. The osteoblast counterpart is an osteoclast, a cell that is responsible for breaking the bone.

As people get older, their production of osteoblasts is decreasing. That is why older people tend to have more fragile bones that are threatened by a fracture, and why it takes longer to recover after breaks because they have fewer cells to rebuild the damaged bone. Bone health can also be affected by the amount of calcium available in the diet, as osteoblasts need calcium in the bone formation process. Osteocyte is an osteoblast that is caught in the bone matrix. Osteocytes cannot divide and develop long extensions for communication with other osteocytes. These cells move the nutrients and waste the bone matrix. Cells on the lining of a scytheThey are osteoblasts that connect to the surface of the bone and flatten in the process.

Bone cells appear to play a role in activating osteoblasts and osteoclasts, responding to hormones and changing conditions in the body to cause the most appropriate activity. They also regulate the amount of calcium, which can enter the bone and act as a selectively permeable membrane that can either allow calcium to flow into the bone or block the absorption of calcium.

osteoblasts are decisive for the structure and integrity of the bone. They do not only build a new bone, but also maintain and strengthen the existing bone and ensure that the matrix is ​​not compromised and that it is as much as possible. Taging Tongie taging with osteoclalasty maintains a bone in a constant state of recovery that eliminates the area of ​​weakness and solves cracks, fractures and other problems.

looking at enlargement and cross -section, a piece of bone reveals a prosperous assortment of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in PR PRPatches and small pits, known as Lacunae, in which stars in the shape of stars are located. The magnification also shows the complexity and details of the mineralized matrix, which forms the bones in everything, from Shrews to elephants.
