'''Osteogenesis''' is the formation of [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Types of Bone|bone]]. Bone forms from one of three lineages; the skull forms from the [[Neurogenesis - Anatomy & Physiology#Neural Crest|'''neural crest''']]; the limb skeleton forms from the '''lateral plate mesoderm'''; and the axial skeleton forms from the '''paraxial mesoderm (sclerotome)'''.
