70

Oteogenic Cells

– Mitotically active stem cells in periosteum and endosteum
– When stimulated differentiate into osteoblasts or bone lining cells
• Some persist as osteogenic cells

71

Osteoblasts

• Bone-forming cells

• Collagen = 90% of bone protein
• Actively mitotic

72

Osteocytes

• Mature bone cells in lacunae
• Monitor and maintain bone matrix
• Act as stress or strain sensors
– Respond to and communicate mechanical stimuli to osteoblasts and osteoclasts (cells that destroy bone) so bone remodeling can occur

73

Bone Lining Cells

• On external bone surface called periosteal cells
• Lining internal surfaces called endosteal cells

74

Osteoclasts
