Skeletal--->Cells The skeletal system has bone cells with many structures and functions. Bone cells in general are very tiny and have long skinny arms. The arm-like extensions grab nutrients and minerals like calcium. Another structure in the bone cell is mineral deposits. The mineral deposits hold onto minerals for future use. There are two types of bone cells- osteoBLASTS and osteoCLASTS. Osteoblasts are bone forming cells that grab calcium and phosphorus from blood and deposits them in bone. Osteoclasts remove unwanted bone tissue and deposit it in the blood. Bone cells make up part of animals like humans, and therefore, they are animal cells. This means that they have basic organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
Bone Cells- A short, random poem
Osteoblasts form cells, Bone cells, that is. They grab nutrients from blood- They reach the cell in a whiz.
Osteoclasts degrade cells, Those cells are no more. The tissue is sent to the bloodstream- What else is it for?
