In the process of intramembranous ossification the formation of bone within CT, WHAT cells first aggregate in the vicinity of blood vessels and differentiate into osteoblast cells, which begin to synthesize and secrete the components of the matrix.
os'teÂ·oÂ·clas'tic adj. osteoclast. A specialized bone cell that absorbs bone, allowing for the deposition of new bone and maintenance of bone strength. Osteoclasts secrete enyzmes that dissolve the matrix of old bone tissue and acids that dissolve bone salts, which contain calcium and phosphorus. Except in growing bone, the rate of bone deposition and bone absorption equal each other so that bone mass remains constant. A mass of osteoclasts absorbs bone from the outer surfaces inward for about three weeks.
