The pain in the leg that is referred to as "shin splints" is often caused by microtears in the periosteum and perforating fibers. these tears lead to inflammation of the periosteum. considering the type of tissue found in the periosteum, which cells do you think would be most involved in the repair process?

fibroblasts
chondroblasts
osteoblasts
osteoclasts

Fibroblasts

Explanation:

The periosteum is the membrane that serves to line the bones. The membrane consists of connective tissue, osteoblast cells, and osteogenic cells. Osteogenic cells and osteoblasts are involved in the growth and repair of bones as well their the nutrition of bones.

The connective tissue of periosteum consists of cells such as fibroblasts which in turn are the large and immature cells involved in secretion of fibers, ground substances and most of the extracellular matrix of the connective tissues. Therefore, the tearing of the periosteum would be repaired with the help of fibroblasts.

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.
