What is the specialized cell for skeletal system?

The specialized cells for the skeletal system are osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation, producing the bone matrix and facilitating mineralization. Osteocytes, derived from osteoblasts, maintain bone tissue and communicate with other cells to regulate bone homeostasis. Osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption, breaking down bone tissue to release minerals back into the bloodstream.
