In case of bones you have Diaphysis in the center of bone and Epiphysis at either end. In between you have a plate of cartilage called as Metaphysis. New cells are is formed in this cartilage and get deposition of calcium salt at the end of Diaphysis. There by increasing the length of bone. When maturity age comes, usually by 18 to 20 years, this Metaphysis get ossified and no further growth in length of bones occur. Bone is a living tissue. In which Osteoclast cells continuously remove the bone and Osteoblast cellscontinuously deposit calcium salt in bones. Osteoclast remove the calcium salt and Osteoblasts deposit the calcium salt according to the need of the hour.
What else can I help you with?
What is the process of new bone formation in adults?
osteogenesis
What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?
Endochondral Ossification meaning "formed in cartilage.
What is bone formation?
Ossification - is the Process of bone formationChapter 15, The Language of Medicine 8th Edition, page 573
What is osteoblats?
Osteoblasts are cells responsible for bone formation. They produce proteins and minerals that are necessary for the formation of new bone tissue. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in the process of bone remodeling and repair.
What is the Process of ossification?
the formation of bone from pre-existing hyaline cartilage models
What process describes blood cell formation in the red bone marrow?
Hematopoiesis
What is the difference between ossification and calcification?
Ossification is the process of bone formation, where cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Calcification is the process of deposition of calcium salts in tissues, making them hard and rigid. While ossification specifically refers to bone formation, calcification can occur in various tissues in the body.
Bones increase in length by the process of?
by the formation of more bone cells i.e. osteocytes
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.
What is the process of osteogenesis?
Osteogenesis is the process of bone growth. It occurs in children at the epiphyseal plate, which is located at the end of bones. If the growth plates are injured during childhood, kids may end up with shortened or deformed limbs.
What disease occurs when the rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation?
Osteopenia (little bone) will occur first. If the process continues, then osteoporosis (thin bone) will occur.
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.
