Question

Bone forming cells that secrete ossein protein are called

• A. chondroblasts
• B. chondrocytes
• C. osteoblasts
• D. osteocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is C osteoblasts

Osteoblasts are specialised mesenchymal cells that synthesise bone matrix and coordinate the mineralisation of the skeleton. The unique function of osteoblasts requires substantial amounts of energy production, particularly during states of new bone formation and remodelling. It produces the ossein proteins that are making the bone and the formation of the same takes place.
