    GlossaryOssification (Bone formation)

    process of bone tissue creation from cartilage or mesenchymal tissue

    Ossification, also known as bone formation or osteogenesis, is the process by which new bone tissue is created. This can occur through two primary mechanisms: intramembranous ossification, where bone develops directly from mesenchymal tissue, and endochondral ossification, where bone forms by replacing cartilage. This process is crucial for the growth, repair, and maintenance of the skeletal system.
