Q

Endochondral Ossification (6 steps)

A
  1. 8-12 weeks: fetal hyaline cartilage model develops
  2. Fetal period: cartilage calcifies and a periostal bone collar forms around diaphysis
  3. Fetal period: primary ossification center forms in diaphysis
  4. Newborn to child: secondary ossification centers form in epiphysis
  5. Child: bone replaces cartilage except articular cartilage
  6. Late teens to adult: epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal lines

Q

Intramembranous Ossification (4 parts)

A
  1. Ossification centers form within thickened regions of mesenchyme
  2. Osteoid undergoes calcification.
  3. Woven bone and surrounding periosteum form.
  4. Lamellar bone replaces woven bone as compact and spongy born form.
