Functions of Bone, cont.
Mineral storage

Produces blood

Mesenchyme
Osteoblast
Collagen fiber
Development of ossification
center: osteoblasts secrete
organic extracellular matrix

Osteocyte in
lacuna
Calcification: calcium and
other mineral salts are
deposited and extracellular
matrix calcifies (hardens)

Mesenchyme
condenses
Formation of trabeculae:
extracellular matrix develops
into trabeculae that fuse to
form spongy bone

6. Formation of
Articular Cartilage
& Epiphyseal Plate
Epiphyseal cartilage does
not ossify
Remains as articular
cartilage
Epiphyseal (Growth) plate
also remains as cartilage
Source of interstitial
growth
51. Development of
cartilage model:
mesenchymal
cells develop into
chondroblasts,
which form the
cartilage model.

Endochondral Ossification - Overview
Growth of cartilage
model: growth
occurs by cell

chondrocytes.

Development of
primary ossification
center: in this region of
the diaphysis, bone
tissue replaces most of
the cartilage.

Development of the
medullary (marrow)
cavity: bone
breakdown by
osteoclasts forms
the medullary

represent cartilage (uncalcified).

Periosteal ridges fuse, forming an

Tunnel
Osteoblasts in endosteum
build new concentric
lamellae inward toward
center of tunnel, forming
a new osteon.
3
Endosteum
Bone grows outward as osteoblasts in
periosteum build new circumferential
lamellae. Osteon formation repeats as new
periosteal ridges fold over blood vessels.
