Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During Intramembranous Ossification, what are mesenchyme cells?
A
specialized cells
B
stem cells that differentiate into osteblasts
C
stem cells that differentiate into osteclasts
D
fibroblasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mesenchymal stem cells within mesenchyme or the medullary cavity of a bone fracture initiate the process of intramembranous ossification. A mesenchymal stem cell, or MSC, is an unspecialized cell that can develop into an osteoblast.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of intramembranous ossification (also referred to as desmal ossification) mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts, which directly start to deposit bone. This mechanism generates the flat bones of the skull and the lateral clavicles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of lineages, including osteocytes, adipocytes and chondrocytes.
