Bone cells are specialized cells that play a crucial role in the formation, maintenance, and repair of bone tissue. There are three main types of bone cells: osteoblasts, which build new bone; osteocytes, which maintain bone tissue; and osteoclasts, which break down old bone. Together, these cells help regulate the balance of bone formation and resorption. These cells work in a coordinated manner to ensure healthy bone structure and function. Osteoblasts produce a matrix that becomes mineralized to form bone, while osteocytes communicate with other bone cells to respond to mechanical stress. Osteoclasts help remove damaged or excess bone, allowing for continuous remodeling throughout a person's life.
