The formation of bone, or [[Developmental Biology - Bone & Joint Development - Anatomy & Physiology|osteogenesis]] has several different origins - the skull develops at the junction of the neural plate and the epidermis, the limb skeleton develops from lateral plate mesoderm, and the axial skeleton develops from paraxial mesoderm. Both [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology|bones]] and [[Bones_and_Cartilage_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Structure_and_Function_of_Cartilage|cartilage]] continue to develop into several well differentiated types specific to their anatomical position and function. | The formation of bone, or [[Developmental Biology - Bone & Joint Development - Anatomy & Physiology|osteogenesis]] has several different origins - the skull develops at the junction of the neural plate and the epidermis, the limb skeleton develops from lateral plate mesoderm, and the axial skeleton develops from paraxial mesoderm.
