Some of the cells then differentiate to form osteoblasts (others to form capillaries), Osteoblasts secrete calcium-binding collagen-proteoglycan matrix. Mostly the osteoblasts are outside of the calcifying bone, but some are trapped inside and differentiate into osteocytes, which radiate out bony spicules. Mesenchymal cells form a periosteum membrane around the calcified areas and some of the periosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts and contribute to formation of more layers of bone. |
