ossification
Ossification (or osteogenesis) is the generic term for bone formation. There are two basic types: membranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
Endochondral ossification
Ossification occurs when bones are formed.
Endochondral ossification! :)
Intramembranous ossification
There are two ways bones are formed, intramembranous ossification, and endochondral ossification. Intramembranous ossification is how the flat bones are formed, while the long bones are formed with endochondral ossification.
