Does ossification occur in exoskeletons?
Not really. Exoskeletons are chitinous and not subject to ossification because they are not bone but a dense form of protien.
What is an ossification in the Gluteus Medius Insertion?
An ossification in the gluteus medius insertion means that bone tissue has formed where the bone enters the hip joint. There should not be bone tissue in this location, and having it there would lead to stiffness and loss of motion of the joint.
What do you call the deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue?
calcification
What is heterotopic ossification?
Heterotopic ossification is an abnormal deposit of bone in muscles and tendons that may occur after injury. It is most common in the hips and knees.
Where does cartilage remain in a long bone after ossification has occurred?
After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
What are the laws of ossification?
Ossification refers to the process of bone formation, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts that produce bone matrix. The laws of ossification include Wolff's Law, which states that bones adapt their shape and structure in response to mechanical stress, and Davis' Law, which states that soft tissues, including bone, remodel and adapt to the stresses placed upon them. These laws help explain how bones grow and adapt to their environment.
What is the process of bone formation called?
Ossification (or osteogenesis) is the generic term for bone formation. There are two basic types: membranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
Ossification that involves replacing cartilage with bone is?

What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?

What is it called when a bone forms from a fibrous membrane?

What is the primary ossification center of bone?
Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses.
What structure is involved in long bone growth length?

Definition of ossification?
Ossification (or osteogenesis) in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation.
