WHAT DOES OSTEOBLAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

osteoblast

Osteoblast

Osteoblasts are specialized, terminally differentiated products of mesenchymal stem cells. They synthesize very dense, crosslinked collagen, and several additional specialized proteins in much smaller quantities, including osteocalcin and osteopontin, which comprise the organic matrix of bone. In organized groups of connected cells, osteoblasts produce a calcium and phosphate-based mineral that is deposited, in a highly regulated manner, into the organic matrix forming a very strong and dense mineralized tissue - the mineralized matrix. This is further discussed in "Mineralization of bone" below. The mineralized skeleton is the main support for the bodies of air breathing vertebrates. It also is an important store of minerals for physiological homeostasis including both acid-base balance and calcium or phosphate maintenance.
