Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are derived from osteoblasts and are surrounded by mineralized bone matrix. They are located in small cavities called lacunae within the bone matrix. Once the matrix of bone calcifies, osteoblasts stop producing bone matrix and become osteocytes, maintaining the bone tissue.
