Question

osteoprogenitor cells develop into which type of cells responsible for building bone? answers: a - e a osteoclasts b osteoid c osteocytes d lamellae e osteoblasts

Explanation:

Osteoprogenitor cells are stem - like cells in bone. Osteoblasts are the cells that build bone by secreting the organic matrix (osteoid) which then mineralizes. Osteoclasts break down bone, osteocytes are mature bone cells in lacunae, osteoid is the organic part of bone matrix (not a cell type), and lamellae are layers in compact bone (not a cell type). So osteoprogenitor cells develop into osteoblasts which are responsible for building bone.

Answer:

E. Osteoblasts
