When osteoblasts begin to differentiate within a connective tissue, the process is called osteogenesis or ossification. This process involves the formation of new bone tissue through the secretion of extracellular matrix components by osteoblasts.

Intramembranous and Endochondral Ossification
Ossification (or osteogenesis) is the generic term for bone formation. There are two basic types: membranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
Ossification occurs when bones are formed.
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.
