Osteoblast - HB
Across
- 3. Organelle in osteoblasts responsible for protein processing and secretion.
- 4. Shape osteoblasts often take when actively forming bone.
- 6. Reticulum – Organelle abundant in osteoblasts, aiding protein synthesis.
- 10. Bone-forming cell responsible for producing organic bone matrix.
Down
- 1. Type of stem cell from which osteoblasts are derived.
- 2. Structure formed by osteoblast-secreted proteins like collagen.
- 5. Osteoblasts interact with osteoclasts to maintain this bone balance.
- 7. Osteoblasts have a single small one containing chromatin and nucleoli.
- 8. Phosphatase – Enzyme expressed by osteoblasts, indicating bone formation activity.
- 9. Primary protein secreted by osteoblasts for bone formation.
