Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteoclasts are cells in bone tissue that are responsible for resorption or the breakdown of bone tissue. Osteoblasts, on the other hand, are cells responsible for synthesizing and depositing new bone tissue. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are embedded in the mineralized bone matrix and play roles in bone remodeling and maintenance. Osteogenic cells are bone stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts.
