19 AGO 2020 · BONE FORMATION / OSSIFICATION :-
INTRAMEMBRANEOUS- within membrane
Ossification takes place in the membranes of connective tissue.
Cells in the membrane differentiate into osteoblasts,
A collagen matrix is formed, which undergoes ossification
So basically, these bone is formed from collagen matrix.
Mostly flat Bones: maxilla, majority of mandible & cranial vault*
ENDOCHONDRAL – within cartilage
Bone formation takes place From within a hyaline cartilage
Cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells,ie. osteocytes replace chondrocytes.
short and long bones are formed this way
ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital (synchondrosis of bones of cranial base*)
Some part of mandible (condylar head region)
MANDIBLE BONE FORMATION IS BY BOTH endochondral + intramembraneous
