Osteoblast | Bone versus cartilage | cartilaginous fishes such as sharks. It develops as the initial skeleton in more advanced classes of animals.
In air-breathing vertebrates, cartilage is replaced by cellular bone. A transitional tissue is mineralized cartilage. Cartilage mineralizes by massive expression of phosphate-producing enzymes, which cause high local concentrations of calcium and phosphate that precipitate. This mineralized cartilage is not dense or strong. In the air breathing vertebrates it is used as a scaffold for formation of cellular bone made by osteoblasts, and then it is removed by osteoclasts, which specialize in degrading mineralized tissue.
Osteoblasts produce an advanced type of bone matrix consisting of dense, |
