Have you ever noticed that all young cells are called ___blast? Osteoblast for example is a young bone cell while chondroblast is a young cartilage cell. Erythroblast is a young red blood cell while a neuroblast is a young nerve cell. A young muscle cell is called a myoblast and a young while blood cell is a leucoblast... and so on and so forth.... So, if somebody calls you “blasted thing”, it means you are young. Take it as a compliment and say “thank you”. Ha ha ha.... Sorry, I got a weird sense of humor today...
By the way, when a cell is old it’s called _____cyte. So we have osteocyte, chondrocyte, erythrocyte…etc.
