The answer is the last one: multipotent stem cell.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Totipotent stem cell: These cells have the potential to develop into any cell type in the body, including extraembryonic or placental cells. They are found in the early stages of embryonic development. Bone marrow cells are not totipotent because they cannot form all cell types, especially those outside the blood lineage.

  2. Cord blood stem cell: These are hematopoietic stem cells found in the umbilical cord blood. While they can give rise to various blood cells, the question specifically refers to bone marrow cells, which are not typically referred to as cord blood stem cells.

  3. Myeloid stem cell: These are progenitor cells that give rise to myeloid lineage cells, such as red blood cells, platelets, and some types of white blood cells. However, they do not give rise to all formed elements, as they do not produce lymphoid cells.

  4. Multipotent stem cell: These cells can develop into multiple, but limited, cell types. In the context of bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent because they can differentiate into all the various types of blood cells, but not into cells outside the blood lineage. This makes "multipotent stem cell" the correct answer for the bone marrow cell from which all formed elements are derived.

In summary, the bone marrow cell from which all formed elements are derived is a multipotent stem cell because it can develop into many, but not all, body cells, specifically those within the blood lineage.
