How is a bone cell specialised?

Answer:

It depends on what sort of bone cell you are talking about. Osteoblasts are specialized in so far as they form new bone only, osteoclasts digest bone for remodeling however cannot form new bone. However, there are other cells in bone, such as hemaotpoietic stem cells in the bone marrow that are only specialized in so far as they produce blood cells.
