Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteocytes are the primary bone cells that reside inside lacunae within the bone matrix. They have long cellular processes that extend through small channels called canaliculi, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange with other bone cells. Osteoblasts are responsible for building new bone, while osteoclasts break down old bone. Osteochondral progenitor cells are stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts or chondrocytes.
