MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone ossification, or osteogenesis, is the process of bone formation. This process begins between the sixth and seventh weeks of embryonic development and continues until about age twenty-five; although this varies slightly based on the individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endochondral ossification involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bony tissue. Most of the bones of the skeleton are formed in this manner. These bones are called endochondral bones. In this process, the future bones are first formed as hyaline cartilage models.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endochondral ossification can be divided into five stages: commitment, compaction, proliferation, growth, and finally, chondrocyte death and the generation of new bone.

Detailed explanation-4: -intramembranous ossification: A process that occurs during fetal development to produce bone tissue without a cartilage template. The membrane that occupies the place of the future bone resembles connective tissue and ultimately forms the periosteum, or outer bone layer.
