Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the term 'formed elements' in the context of Anatomy & Physiology. Formed elements refer to the cellular components of blood, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).

Step 2: Recognize that these formed elements originate from a specific type of stem cell found in the bone marrow. This stem cell is responsible for producing all blood cell types through a process called hematopoiesis.

Step 3: Learn the name of the stem cell responsible for hematopoiesis. It is called a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC). These cells are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate into various types of blood cells.

Step 4: Compare the other options provided in the question: Chondrocytes are cartilage cells, osteoblasts are bone-forming cells, and fibroblasts are connective tissue cells. None of these are involved in the formation of blood cells.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is hematopoietic stem cells, as they are the source of all formed elements in the blood.
