**Text Explanation:**In the osteon below, the large cell in the upper right is adding calcium matrix to the bone tissue. What term describes this cell?**Options:**A. OsteoblastB. CanaliculiC. OsteoclastD. Epiphyseal**Diagram Description:**The image depicts an osteon, which is the fundamental functional unit of compact bone. It has a concentric circular structure, resembling a target or tree rings. The osteon in the image features a series of concentric circles, with small, star-shaped cells arranged around a central canal. In the upper right section of the osteon, a larger cell is highlighted, which is involved in adding a calcium matrix to the bone tissue.This cell is crucial for bone formation and is typically referred to as an osteoblast, which corresponds to option A.

Bone metabolism also called bone turnover is the constant process that plays in the bones. Old bone…
