There are three special types of cells that are found only in the bone. These cell names all start with OSTEO because that is the Greek word for bone. OSTEOCLASTS are large cells that dissolve the bone. They come from the bone marrow and are related to white blood cells.
Precursors. Most bone cells are unable to divide and cannot reproduce. Osteogenic cells are bone cells capable of creating new osteoblasts and osteoclasts. They are located in the periosteum, which is the tissue surrounding the bone, and the bone marrow.fter the new bone tissue has been built, those osteoblasts that don't become lining cells remain deep in the bone matrix and become osteocytes, cells with long branches through the bone tissue that form a network.
