What is the function of the Bone cells?

Answer 1

Bone cells store nutrients to make our bones strong enough to support our body. Bone cells also help your hormones develope.

Well, I'm not sure how much the bone cells can 'store' nutrients... the cell part is small in mass/volume compared to the mineral matrix of bone itself. The cells (osteoblasts technically) more just squirt out the squishy fibers and enzymes that allow those fibers to mineralize. That mass of mineralized matrix is 'bone' in the lay sense of the word. It's hard. It's a skeleton on which all our muscles are built. But it's not a solid mass of cells like our skin or muscles are.

There are a couple cells that are within this hard bone material--they're the osteocytes. They're little pipsqueak cells that aren't really big enough to do much and they're very very stuck in one position (just like Han Solo in carbonite). But they're holding 'hands' with one another and reaching out to the cells on the surface and they're not dead (you hope. it's big trouble if they die 'cause it can lead to osteonecrosis where your bone can crumble apart. and that sucks.), so the osteocytes probably do something.

There are osteoblasts--these little guys sit on bone in a plump little line and they squirt out the fibers that make up bone. But we've already covered this, yeah?

Then there are osteoclasts. These giant fellows look something like a cross between Jabba the Hut and a Pac-Man ghost, and they really are massive. The hungry fat kids of the bone world. They're also derived from a different side of the cellular family tree than the rest of the bone cells (hematopoietic stem cells vs. mesenchymal stem cells--which is probably the only way they had the machinery to blob together into one massive used-to-be-six-cells-but-now-is-one-giant-one cell). These big guys attach to bone and eat away at the bone. The borrow through it or leave big pits. Old people have too many osteoclasts (in ratio to osteoblasts) and so their bones keep getting smaller and smaller. But let's not be too hard on the osteoclasts, 'cause we've found out recently that you can't have healthy bone without them. Something to do with 'needing to remove the old before they can call in the new'. Figures. Oh! And these are the cells that break down calcium so you can have calcium ions in your bloodstream. This is wicked important--without these ions, your muscles and nerves won't work. That would suck.

There are also other bone cells, like bone lining cells.

Answer 2

Bone cells, including osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts, work together to maintain healthy bones. Osteoblasts build new bone tissue, osteocytes regulate bone mineralization and repair, and osteoclasts break down and resorb bone tissue to maintain balance in bone density. Together, these cells support bone strength, structure, and healing.

Answer 3

Bone cells help you stand up and move. As well as helping your body produce red blood cells.

Answer 4

The main function of the bone cells is to help in remodeling of the growth of bones. They will also secrete hormones which will stimulate osteoblasts.

Answer 5

They make Red Blood Cells (and some other stuff I've forgotten)

Answer 6

functions of a bone cell are, to keep your bones strong and healthy and to keep your bones from not getting weak and breaking.
