Osteogenic cells
- stem cells
- only one to go through cell division
-found in periosteum, endosteum, and canals that house blood vessels
Osteoblasts
- bone builders
- secrete collagen fibers and extracellular matrix (Ca, P)
Osteocytes
- mature bone cells
- maintain bone
- bring in nutrients and excrete waste via plasma membrane
Osteoclast
- bone remodelers
- lysosomes secrete digestive enzymes to destroy bone
Compact bone
- made of osteons
- heavy
