Study Notes

Bone Cells and Tissue

Osteoprogenitor cells proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts.
Bone tissue is characterized as being highly vascularized, dynamic, and adaptive.

Functions and Locations

The periosteum's main function is to provide a site for muscle attachment and to serve as a point of entry for nerve and blood vessels.
Active osteoblasts and osteoclasts are found on the surface of bone tissue, particularly in areas where bone remodeling is active.
