Classification of Bone: Structure
Compact Bone
Spongy Bone
Classification of Bone: Origin
Cartilaginous Bone - Bone replaces cartilage model
Dermal Bone - Bone forms directly within a sheet of CT
Bone Development: Endochondral Ossification
Cartilaginous plates (epiphyseal plates) remain between and separate adjacent centers until the bones are mature. Bones elongate.
Bone Development: Intramembranous Ossification
No cartilage model is involved and the bones grow in diameter.
