Question

Which cell is most responsible for osteogenesis (production of bone)?

A) osteoprogenitor cell.
B) osteocyte
C) osteoblast
D) osteoclast

Answer 1

The cell responsible for osteogenesis is -

(C) Osteoblast

Step-by-step explanation:

Bone and cartilages are the a type of connective tissues that together forms the bone structure or the skeletal system .

The structure of the body is maintained by the cells , mainly osteoblasts and osteoclasts .

The tissues of bone are dynamic in nature i.e. , they are continuously degrading and reforming , throughout our life cycle.

The continuous removal of the bone , called resorption , are done by the osteoclasts and The synthesis of new bone process , called the bone remodeling , is done by the Osteoblast cells.

Hence, the cell most responsible for osteogenesis is Osteoblast cell.
