    Allocate the correct corresponding bone information.

    <p>Osteoblasts = Cells that form the matrix of bone Osteocytes = These are osteoblasts that are trapped in the bony matrix called lacunae (like jail). Contact with other osteocytes and their blood supply is through cellular channels called canaliculi (like slots in a jail cell). Can revert back to osteoblasts if needed e.g. to form new bone after an injury. Osteoclasts = Cells that eat away at bone, Used to re-model bone that is not needed.
