Intramembranous Ossification

The video explains two types of bone formation: endochondral and intramembranous ossification. Endochondral ossification involves cartilage models, while intramembranous ossification does not require cartilage. The process of intramembranous ossification is detailed, highlighting the roles of osteoblasts and osteocytes. The video also distinguishes osteoclasts from other bone cells and compares the two ossification types, noting differences in cartilage requirement and ossification centers.

Describe the role of osteoblasts in the process of intramembranous ossification.

Discuss the process of calcification in intramembranous ossification.

What is the significance of hydroxyapatite in bone formation?
