Term
intramembranous ossification (skull bone)
Definition
-ossification within a membrane
stem cells within connective tissue differentiate into osteoblasts and secrete projections of bone matrix. blood vessles grow into the area to nourish the osteoblasts, then the bony projections grow together and trap blood vessles inside developing bone. bone marrow is remodeled into compact bone at the periphery and spongy bone in the marrow cavity.
Term
endochondrial ossification (long bone development)
Definition
"bone replaces cartilage from within"
chondrocytes form a hyaline cartilage model, then matrix calcifies which keeps nutrients from reaching chondrocytes so they die causing blood vessles to grow around the edges of the cartilage model. osteoblasts secrete a collar of bone around dying cartilage which becomes compact bone of diaphysis. Blood vessels then enter diaphysis with chondroclasts to destroy cartilage and osteoblasts to secrete bone in place (primary ossification center). Osteoclasts destroy much of bone creating a marrow cavity. Next blood vessels, chondroclasts and osteoblasts enter epiphysis forming secondary ossification centers replacing cartilage with bone at both ends. ends at puberty.
