Question

________ cells are located in the inner cellular layer of the periosteum.
A) Osteocyte
B) Osteoclast
C) Osteoid
D) Osteogenic
E) Osteolytic

Accepted Answer

Osteogenic cells are located in the inner cellular layer of the periosteum. They give rise to osteoblasts, which then lay down new bone tissue. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are found within the bone tissue itself, while osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down and removing old bone tissue. Osteoid refers to the unmineralized organic matrix of bone, and osteolytic refers to the breakdown of bone tissue by certain conditions such as cancer or osteoporosis.
