The Origin of Bone Cells in Endochondral Ossification (original) (raw)

Abstract

In developing long bone the area of endochondral ossification consists of a variety of tissues in which various developmental processes take place: cartilage cells arrange themselves into cell columns; hypertrophic cartilage cells are formed; all kinds of bone cells appear, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts; the adjacent connective tissue and bloodvessels also take an active part in the process by penetrating and invading the developing cartilage tissue.
