n. a bone-forming cell. [1870–75] os`te•o•blas′tic, adj.

os·te·o·blast

(ŏs′tē-ə-blăst′) A cell that produces the collagen needed for the development of new bone. As new bone grows and hardens, osteoblasts become embedded in the bone matrix. Once embedded, they are no longer able to secrete collagen and are called osteocytes.

Translations

Osteoblast

osteoblast

[′äs·tē·ə‚blast] (histology) A bone-forming cell of mesenchymal origin.

Osteoblast

a cell that is involved in bone formation in vertebrate animals and man. Osteoblasts arise during the ossification of skeletal rudiments. In mature bone, they are found only in regions of injury, regeneration, and remodelling. They also take part in the formation and calcification of the intercellular substance of a bone.

osteoblast

[os´te-o-blast″] a cell arising from a fibroblast, which, as it matures, is associated with bone production.

os·te·o·blast

(os'tē-ō-blast'), A bone-forming cell that is derived from mesenchymal osteoprognitor cells and forms an osseous matrix in which it becomes enclosed as an osteocyte. Synonym(s): osteoplast [osteo- + G. blastos, germ]

osteoblast

(ŏs′tē-ə-blăst′)n. A cell from which bone develops; a bone-forming cell.

os′te·o·blas′tic adj.

osteoblast

A mononucleated fibroblast-derived cell that usually resides in bone and produces collagen I-rich osteoid, a matrix which, when calcified, is bone.

os·te·o·blast

(os'tē-ō-blast) A bone-forming cell that is derived from mesenchymal progenitor cells and forms an osseous matrix in which it becomes enclosed as an osteocyte. [osteo- + G. blastos, germ]

osteoblast

A bone-building cell. Osteoblasts are continuously active remodelling bone that has been broken down by OSTEOCLASTS.

osteoblast

a cell that produces the calcified intercellular material of bone. See also PERIOSTEUM.
