Question
**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. Osteoblast

B. Canaliculi

C. Osteoclast

D. 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.
