Endochondral Osteoblasts (CEBs)


Bn.CEBs.EOCs
Osteoblasts are responsible for deposition of the mineralized bone matrix. Osteoblasts attach to the surface of the bone matrix, proliferate, and secrete type I collagen and bone-specific non-collagenous proteins such as osteocalcin. These proteins are crucial for mineralization of the bone matrix.

Contribute also to middle ear bones.
