Front

What is the process of creating new bone tissue in flat bones like the skull?

Intramembranous ossification.

Front

It causes bone growth.

Front

What part of the skeleton includes the pelvis, pectoral girdle, and limbs?

Front

What are large multi-nucleated cells responsible for bone resorption?

Hematopoiesis (blood cell production).

Front

What is the difference between endochondral and intramembranous ossification?

Back

Endochondral ossification involves the replacement of cartilage with bone, while intramembranous ossification involves the direct formation of bone from mesenchymal tissue.

Front

What are osteoblasts?

Back

Cells that are responsible for bone formation.

Front

What are osteocytes?

Back

Front

What is the role of osteogenic cells?
