*Two main types of bone development:

−

**'''Endochondral ossification''' (cartilage model)

−

***Long bones mainly - physis and metaphysis

−

***Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts

−

****Produce scaffold of mineralised cartilage on which osteoblasts deposit bone

−

***Vascularised

−

***Developed centres of ossification

−

****Primary (diaphyseal)

−

****Secondary (epiphyseal)

−

**'''Intramembranous ossification'''

−

***Flat bones mainly (e.g. skull), shaft of long bones

−

***Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts

−

***No cartilage precursor template
