This picture shows the general features of bones. Bone is a connective tissue with a matrix hardened by minerals. Bones provide support, protection (like the ribs protect the heart), and aid in blood formation. Bone remodels itself throughout life. The periosteum is connective tissue that surrounds the bone. Once the epiphyseal plate stops growing it turns into a line. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).

The process of bone formation is called osteogenesis or ossification. After progenitor cells form osteoblastic lines, they proceed with three stages of development of cell differentiation, called proliferation, maturation of matrix, and mineralization. Based on its embryological origin, there are two types of ossification, called intramembranous ossification that occurs in mesenchymal cells that differentiate into osteoblast in the ossification center directly without prior cartilage…
