Bone Formation

During fetal development, bone tissue is created through intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification.

Secondary ossification occurs after birth at the epiphyses of long bones and continues until skeletal maturity.

Bone remodeling or bone turnover is the process of resorption followed by replacement of bone and occurs throughout a person's life.

Bone fractures are repaired through physiological processes in the periosteum via chrondroblasts and osteoblasts.
