Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The structure of cellular bone contains osteocytes throughout the bone matrix, which is a star shape bone cells in the tissue. In the human body, about 42 billion osteocytes are present and they are derived from osteoprogenitors. Some of them are differentiated into osteoblast, which converts to osteocyte in the cytoplasmic matrix. It contains a tiny canal called canaliculated. Osteocyte functions in mineral metabolism, and in biomeralization of calcium and phosphate.
