4. Two secondary ossification centra in both epiphyses (after birth in long bones)
hypertrophy of chondrocytes, ossification and replacement of the cartilage by bone spicules goes
radially – formation of spongy bone
5. Cartilage on the future articular surfaces remains (persists through adult life)
6. Between epiphysis and diaphysis epiphyseal plate (hyaline cartilage) remains to the
age 20-25 – responsible for growing of the bone to the lenght
Hyaline cartilage mod
el for bone development
2. Proliferative zone
6. Osteoid zone
7. Ossiform zone
LM:
6.Osteoid zone
remnants of the cartilage (basophilic)
osteoid (eosinophilic)
7.Ossiform zone
- bone spicules
Bone marrow
REMODELING OF THE BONE Secondary ossification
- formation of new osteons (6,9)
- older osteons replaced by new one
become interstitial systems (11)
