Skeletal System Concept Map

Bone formation occurs through two processes: endochondral ossification where cartilage is replaced by bone, and intramembranous ossification where bone forms directly within connective tissue membranes. During growth, bones develop primary and secondary ossification centers and expand through the deposition of new bone matrix by osteoblasts between the periosteum and existing bone. Bone is constantly remodeled throughout life to adjust to stress, repair damage, and regulate calcium levels in the body.
