ossification
The process of solidification of bones refers to the stabilization of the bones. This is mostly after a graft procedure has been carried out.
Ossification the the process that occurs when cartilage is replaced by bones!
Cranial bones and other flat bones develop via intramembranous ossification, a process where bone tissue is formed directly from mesenchymal cells without a cartilage intermediate. Ossification centers form in the mesenchyme, and osteoblasts within these centers deposit bone matrix, which eventually becomes mineralized to form bone. This process results in the flat structure of the cranial and other flat bones.
The bones that form our spine are called vertabrae.
Vertebrae are the bones that form the backbone.
Palatine process of maxilla and palatine bone
Most developmental bones in the embryo are made of cartilage, which later ossifies (hardens) to form bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
The three bones are the manubrium, the body of the sternum, and the xiphoid process. They fuse together to form the sternum, which is a flat bone located in the center of the chest.
The process of building up and breaking down bones is called calcification. This process begins with layers of calcium that are deposited on the bones or are removed from the bones via decalcification.
The pelvic bones are the pair of bones that form a lap. These bones are the hip bones that come together to create a basin-like structure, known as the pelvis.
Actually it is the tibia and fibula that form the lower bones in the legs.
