Usually, ossification is a natural process that builds up the incomplete skeleton, especially in childhood. However, increased ossification can … Ossification
Desmal Ossification The desmal ossification is made of connective tissue. This is formed by mesenchymal cells. During ossification, the cells are first positioned close to each other and are then increasingly better supplied with blood. Then the mesenchymal cells change into osteoblasts, the cells that form bone. These then first form the organic parts of … Desmal Ossification | Ossification
Disturbances of the ossification Among the diseases that affect ossification, a distinction is made between diseases that alter normal ossification and diseases that lead to excessive ossification. A typical disorder of ossification is achondroplasia, which leads to premature closure of the epiphyseal joints. The absence of cartilage in the long bones prevents the bone from … Disturbances of the ossification | Ossification
