name date: homework skeletal system preview given: tuesday (02/03) due: friday (02/06) - part 1 — bone cell identification match each bone cell with its correct role. bone cell function (write the letter) osteoblast osteoclast osteocyte functions: a. breaks down bone tissue b. builds bone tissue c. maintains bone matrix q visual clue match match the description to the correct cell. description cell (osteoblast / osteoclast / osteocyte) large, multinucleated cell found embedded in bone matrix lines bone surfaces

Explanation:

For the first matching section, each bone cell has a specialized role: osteoblasts synthesize bone tissue, osteoclasts break down bone for remodeling, and osteocytes maintain the existing bone matrix. For the visual clue match, osteoclasts are large cells with multiple nuclei for bone resorption, osteocytes are trapped within the bone matrix they maintain, and osteoblasts reside on bone surfaces to form new bone.
