Entosthoblast

/ˌɛntəsˈθɒbləst/ noun

Definition

A type of embryonic cell that develops into internal tissues or skeletal structures.

Etymology

From Greek 'entos' (inside), 'osteon' (bone), and 'blastos' (germ or bud). This scientific term refers to primitive cells that give rise to internal body structures.

Kelly Says

During development, cells called 'entostoblasts' are like construction workers that specifically build the internal skeleton and hard parts—they're cells with a special job to create structure from within.
