Types[edit | edit source]
Formation[edit | edit source]
Intramembranous ossification[edit | edit source]

Purpose[edit | edit source]
Calcium homeostasis/balance must exist between osteoclasts and osteoblasts activity[edit | edit source]
- If too much new tissue is formed, the bones become abnormally large and thick (acromegaly)
- Excessive loss of calcium weakens the bones, as occurs in osteoporosis
Repair[edit | edit source]
Paracrine cell signalling[edit | edit source]
Osteoblast stimulation[edit | edit source]
Osteoclast inhibition[edit | edit source]
Disorders[edit | edit source]
- Osteoporosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteomalacia
- Rickets
- Epiphyseal plate disorders
