So chondroblasts, for example, are the blast cells of cartilage.

举个例子，软骨母细胞是软骨的母细胞。

Once they're done forming their matrix, these blast cells transition into a less active, mature phase.

一旦它们完成了它们的基质，这些成骨细胞就会进入一个不那么活跃的成熟阶段。

But each kind of blast cell has a specialized function: namely, to secrete the ground substances and fiber that form its unique matrix.

但每种母细胞都有一种特殊的功能：即分泌形成其独特基质的基本物质和纤维。

Likewise, osteoblasts are the blast cells of bone tissue, and the matrix they lay down is the nexus of calcium carbonate that forms your bone.

同样地，成骨细胞是骨组织的成骨细胞，它们形成的基质是形成骨骼的碳酸钙的结合体。
