Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bone cell located in the inner layer of the periosteum (the dense connective tissue covering the bone), the endosteum (the connective tissue lining the inner surface of bone), and the perforating and Haversian canals (which allow blood vessels and nerves to pass through the bone) is the osteoblast. Osteoblasts are responsible for the formation of new bone tissue and are found in these locations where bone growth and remodeling occur. Choice A in the diagram represents an osteoblast.
