OSTEOBLASTS are the cells that form new bone. They also come from the bone marrow and are related to structural cells. They have only one nucleus. Osteoblasts work in teams to build bone.

What cell produces osteoblasts?

1 Osteoblasts and bone formation. Osteoblasts are mononucleate cuboid cells that are responsible for bone formation. Osteoblasts originate from immature mesenchymal stem cells, which can also differentiate and give rise to chondrocytes, muscle, fat, ligament and tendon cells (Aubin and Triffitt, 2002).

Where are osteoblasts and osteoclasts found?

Osteoblasts, bone lining cells and osteoclasts are present on bone surfaces and are derived from local mesenchymal cells called progenitor cells. Osteocytes permeate the interior of the bone and are produced from the fusion of mononuclear blood-borne precursor cells.
