functions of the skeletal system
support, blood cell formation, protection of organs, muscle attachment, mineral and fat storage
chondrocytes
trapped chondroblasts
osteocytes
trapped osteoblasts
osteoclasts

cells that build bone are called:
chondroblasts
cells that build up cartilage, that become trapped and are then called chondrocytes
