Several types of cells are essential for the maintenance and function of spongiosa:
Osteoblasts: These cells are responsible for the formation of new bone by secreting bone matrix components. Osteocytes: Mature osteoblasts that have become trapped within the bone matrix they produced; they maintain the bone tissue. Osteoclasts: Large cells that resorb or break down bone tissue, allowing for the remodeling and repair of bones. Bone Marrow Cells: Including hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to all blood cells, and stromal cells, which support hematopoiesis.
