This statement is false.
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are two distinct types of cells involved in bone remodeling. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation, while osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption. When osteoblasts become trapped in lacunae during the process of bone formation, they mature into osteocytes, not osteoclasts. Osteocytes help maintain bone tissue and communicate with other bone cells, but they do not transform into osteoclasts. This separation of function is crucial for the balance of bone formation and resorption in the skeletal system.
