Solution
The cells that arise from osteoprogenitor cells are:
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Explanation:
Osteoblasts: These are bone-forming cells that arise directly from osteoprogenitor cells. Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts, which are responsible for the synthesis and mineralization of bone during both initial bone formation and later bone remodeling.
Osteocytes: These are mature bone cells that originate from osteoblasts. Once osteoblasts become embedded in the bone matrix they secrete, they differentiate into osteocytes. Therefore, indirectly, osteocytes also arise from osteoprogenitor cells through the intermediate stage of osteoblasts.
Osteoclasts: These are bone-resorbing cells that do not arise from osteoprogenitor cells. Instead, they originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, which are also precursors to macrophages.
Oseolysis: This term seems to be a misspelling or misunderstanding. If it refers to the process of bone resorption, it is not a cell type and thus does not arise from osteoprogenitor cells.
I don't know yet, I am unsure, Iam sure: These are not cell types and do not apply to the question.
In summary, osteoblasts and osteocytes are the correct answers as they arise from osteoprogenitor cells.
