Students have asked these similar questions

What role does the structure of an osteon have in the overall strength and health of bone?

What do osteogenic cells form?

I was first thinking condrocytes and osteoblasts with osteoblasts finishing first with the compact bone, but then I was thinking of blasts and clasts as one builds and one removes. Also, I thought, well maybe, cartilage and osteoblasts.
