Summary Introduction
To review:
The factors that determine the type of ossification that occurs in a specific bone.
Introduction:
The process of bone remodeling or bone formation is known as ossification. This process involves special cells called osteoblasts. Ossification is also known as osteogenesis. Two types of ossifications are there, namely, intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
