Book cover Paediatric Pathology

Abstract

The skeleton is mesenchymal in origin. Most of its components pass through membranous and cartilaginous stages of development before becoming ossified, although in some parts there is only a membranous stage. These processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification are well described in standard textbooks of histology.
