Make/Draw a concept map of
1. Endochondral Ossification
2. Intermembranes Ossification
1.Endochondral ossification means the bone develops from
cartilage.
i.e. the mesenchymal cells 1st differentiate into chondrocyte s
which forms cartilage(hyaline) and later during development these
cartilages undergo transformation to form bone.
This takes a longer duration than the intramembranous
ossification.
Usually seen in long bones of the body.
2 .intramembranous ossification means that the bone directly
develops from mesenchyme without being differentiated into
chondrocyte. I.e. replacement of connective tissue membrane
therefore called so.
Usually occurs in flat bones like clavicle.
