attached to 3 separate core proteins - Versican - Decorin - Biglycan
function of heparin sulfate:
facilitates interaction of osteoblast with extra-cellular macromolecules
function of osteocalcin
Important signal in bone turnover and may act as a chemo-attractant to osteoclast precursors

Extensive proliferation: growth, repair, reorganization
which bone cell is alkaline phosphatase negative?
OSTEOPROGENITORS
PRE-OSTEOBLASTS function:
1) Limited proliferation and more differentiated

2) Release, RANKL (Receptor Activator Nucleofactor Kappa-B Ligand) and OPG

3) alkaline phosphatase positive
osteoblast function:
1. Synthesize bone (collagen type I & non collagenous proteins)
2. Strongly positive for alkaline phosphatase
Functions

resting osteoblasts
OSTEOCYTES function
1) Important mechanosensory (mechanotransduction) role, maintain bone matrix
2) Form a syncytium through gap junctions between their processes: connexins
OSTEOCLASTS function
Bone resorption by osteoclast tightly coupled with bone formation by osteoblast
OSTEOCLAST structure
