Osteoblast

Osteoblast on luus olev uue luukoe loomise eest (koos kondrotsüütidega) vastutav rakk. Osteoblastide nimetus tuleneb kreeka keelest (ὀστέο-, osteo- tähendab luud ja βλαστάνω, blastanō idanemist). Osteoblastid toodavad kollageeni, vähemal määral ka teisi luukoe orgaanilist osa moodustavaid valke. Osteoniks seotud rakkudena toodavad nad ka luukoe mineraalset osa hüdroksüapatiiti, mis aitab organismis reguleerida happelisuse taset, samuti on see ka kaltsiumi ja fosfori varusalveks.^[1] Osteoblastid tekivad mesenhümaalsetest tüvirakkudest.^[2]
