Q

Membranous bone formation

A

Mesenchyme condenses into a very vascular CT. Mesenchymal cells produce matrix containing collagen fibers. Cells differentiate into osteoblasts and begin to lay down mineralized bone matrix, typical in the formation of flat bones (skull).

Q

Endochondral bone formation

A

Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts –> hyaline cartilage model of the (long) bone. Matrix calcifies around the periphery of the shaft. Interiorly, some cells differentiate into osteoblasts and begin to lay down mineralized bony matrix. —Primary ossification center.

Blood vessels invade the diaphysis and stimulate ossification. The diaphysis grows in length toward the ends of the bone. Later, secondary ossification centers form in the ends (epiphyses). The epiphyses grow toward the shaft, leaving a region of hyaline cartilage, the epiphyseal (growth) plate between. Growth of the long bone stops when the cartilage plate has completely ossified.

Q

Synovial joint formation
