Bone Formation
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Ossification (osteogenesis) is the process of bone formation.

Bones form in 4 situations:

During embryological and fetal development
When bones grow before adulthood
When bones remodel
When fractures heal

Ossification takes place in 2 forms: Intramembranous and endochondral.

Intramembranous ossification occurs in flat bones when a connective tissue membrane is replaced by bone.
