Cartilage
Bone markings
, Learning Objectives
At the end of the lecture the student should be able to:
• Explain the ossification of bone.
• Identify the centres of ossification and their significance.
• Distinguish between intramembranous and
endochondrail ossification.
• Enlist the surces of blood supply of long bones.
• Identify the bone markings.
• List and isentify the types of cartilages.
, Ossification of bone
• Ossification (or
osteogenesis) is the
process of laying down new
bone material by cells called
osteoblasts. It is
synonymous with bone
tissue formation.
Two types of ossification
1. Intramembranous
ossification
2. Endochondral ossification
