Osteocito

The video explains the role of osteoblasts in secreting minerals to form the bone matrix, which eventually surrounds them. It highlights that osteocytes, unlike other bone cells, do not undergo cell division. Instead, their primary function is to dissolve, re-excrete, and recycle bone matter continuously.
