Understand the different types of cells involved in bone and cartilage tissue: Osteoclasts, Osteoblasts, Osteocytes, and Chondrocytes.
Recall that Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption, meaning they break down bone tissue.
Recognize that Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells that synthesize and secrete the bone matrix.
Know that Chondrocytes are mature cartilage cells, not bone cells.
Identify that Osteocytes are mature bone cells that originate from osteoblasts and maintain the bone matrix, making them the correct answer.
