anatomy specializeduk /ˈɒs.ti.əʊ.blɑːst/ us /ˈɑː.sti.oʊ.blæst/
a cell that forms bone:
Bone cells called osteoblasts take calcium from the blood to repair the cracks and reinforce weak parts of the bones.
This results in an increase in osteoblast function over the first few weeks.
During this stage, osteoblasts are responsible for bone matrix synthesis.
Oestrogen stimulates the growth of bone cells called osteoblasts, which help to build bone.
Normally, the activity of the osteoclasts and osteoblasts is well-balanced.
