The correct answer is option B, that is, many canaliculi.  

The fundamental unit of a compact bone is an osteon that is also called a Haversian system. The Haversian system exhibits a cylindrical composition, which comprises of four components, that is, the Haversian canal, lamellae, lacunae, and canaliculi.  

The lacunae are associated together with the help of minute channels known as canaliculi. The canaliculi offer passages through which nutrients can reach the osteocytes and waste components can leave them.

A phagocytic cell has a mutation in a gene for a hydrolytic enzyme that renders the enzyme nonfunctional. What is the most likel
pshichka [43]

Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.

Explanation:

There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.

Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.
