An osteocyte, a star-shaped type of bone cell, is the most commonly found cell in mature bone tissue, and can live as long as the organism itself.[1] The adult human body has about 42 billion osteocytes.[2] Osteocytes have an average half life of 25 years, they do not divide, and they are derived from osteoprogenitors, some of which differentiate ...
The osteoclasts are a type of bone cells. The bone cells are found within the bone tissues, and they are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. The four main types of bone cells are the (1) osteoclasts, (2) osteoblasts, (3) osteocytes, and (4) lining cells. The osteoclasts, in particular, are large, multinucleated cells that are involved in the absorption and removal of bone, particularly dissolving the fibers and the matrix of bone.
