The human embryo begins the process of ossification at
during the 8th week
Bones are made up of three different cells:
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
and Osteoclasts
Bone formation is called
Ossification
Bone formation begins when
Osteoblasts appear in the body.
blank secrete an organic matrix into which bone salts are deposited to initiate the process of calcification (hardening).
Osteoblasts
The matrix in which young bone is formed, as well as the young bone itself that is created, is called
Osteoid (resembling bone)
When the osteoblasts are finally surrounded by this matrix, they become
osteocytes (former osteoblasts)
Osteoblasts continue to
form imature bone while bone growth and development ensures that imature bone is replaced by mature bone.
Replacement of bones occur
when osteoclasts attach themselves to immature bone, dissolve it, and then reabsorbit.
Matrix is when
replacement occures, this process is a constant turnover of bone matrix, which results in the modeling of the bone.
Bone cells
Cells the body has programmed to create bones
Immature bone
The first formation of bone
Mature bone
Bone that has ossified and calcified
Ossification
Bone formation
Osteoblasts
Bone-forming cells that secrete a matrix which becomes calcified
osteoclasts
Large multinucleated cells that resorbe bone matrix
Osteocytes
Former osteoblasts that are surrounded by bone matrix and have calcified
