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 [[Developmental Biology - Neurogenesis - Anatomy & Physiology#Neural Crest|neural cest]]; the limb skeleton forms from lateral plate mesoderm; and the axial skeleton forms from paraxial mesoderm (sclerotome). There are two methods of osteogenesis. Both involve the transformation of pre - existing mesenchymal tissue into bone.

#'''Intramembranous Ossification''' - direct conversion of mesenchymal tissue into bone. Occurs in production of the skull.

#'''Endochondrial Ossification''' - mesechymal tissue first differentiates into [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Structure and Function of Cartilage|cartilage]], then into bone. This occurs in the production of limb and axial skeleton.
