Osteoblasts release a chemical which mineralizes to builds up bone.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts work hand in hand with a concept known as Wolff's law which states that bone will be laid where it is needed (at areas of high stress).
In contrast, osteoclasts absorb the chemical during repair and growth and thus break down the bone.
