08 BONE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH, OSSIFICATION PROCESS EXPLAINED #50LAM_ANATOMY_ENG

Bone development, or ossification, is the process by which bones form, grow, and remodel throughout life. There are two types of ossification: intramembranous ossification (direct bone formation from mesenchymal tissue, occurring in flat bones like the skull) and endochondral ossification (bone formation from cartilage, occurring in long bones like the femur). Bone growth occurs at the epiphyseal plates (growth plates), where cartilage is replaced by bone until adulthood. Bone remodeling continues throughout life, balancing osteoblasts (bone-building cells) and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells). Factors such as genetics, hormones (growth hormone, estrogen, testosterone), nutrition (calcium, vitamin D), and physical activity influence bone growth and health. Disorders like osteoporosis and rickets result from impaired bone development. Understanding these processes is essential in pediatrics, orthopedics, and sports medicine. #Anatomy #BoneDevelopment #Ossification #BoneGrowth #SkeletalSystem #EpiphysealPlate #Osteoblasts #Osteoclasts #BoneHealth #Physiology MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND:    • 1 CHILLIN' BEATS, LO-FI HIP HOP LAID BACK ...   PLAYLIST FOR MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND #50LAM_LO_FI    • COMPILATION LO FI HIP HOP, LO FI TRIP HOP,...   MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND:    • 1 CHILLIN' BEATS, LO-FI HIP HOP LAID BACK ...   PLAYLIST FOR MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND #50LAM_LO_FI    • COMPILATION LO FI HIP HOP, LO FI TRIP HOP,...
