6th or 7th week of
life.

• Intramembraneous
ossification starts
as membrane

Ossification
•
Step #1
–
Cartilage model of
bone develops.
–

perichondrium.

Ossification
•
Step #2
–
–
–
–
–
Cartilage model grows.
Cartilage begins to
calcify.
Cartilage cells start to
die.
Nutrient artery grows
into cartilage model.
Osteoblasts in
perichondrium start
ossification

Ossification
•
Step #3
–
–
–
–
Primary ossification
occurs.
Forms collar around
shaft of bone.
Osteoblasts create
new bone.
Medullary canal
created by action of
osteoclasts.

Step #4
–
–
Secondary ossification
starts in the ends of
the bone.
Occurs about the time
of birth.

Ossification
•
•
•
•
Cartilage remains
at ends of the
bone (articular
cartilage)

is last to ossify.
Ends growth.
Remodeling is
only change
possible
afterwards.
