Osteogenic cells are unspecialized stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, which are responsible for bone formation. Osteoblasts then mature into osteocytes, which are the highly specialized bone cells that maintain bone tissue. Osteoclasts are not derived from osteogenic cells and are involved in bone resorption rather than formation. Therefore, the correct order is osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, and osteocytes.
