Osscification :
Bone ossification is the process
of bone formation. This process begins between the
sixth and seventh weeks of embryonic development
and continues until about age twenty-five.
TYPES :
Intramembranous ossification
Endochondral ossification
1.Ossification of cavicle bone:
The clavicle is the first bone in the body to ossify.Except for
its medial end it ossifies in membrane .It ossifies from two
primary centres and one secondary centre .
The two primary centres appear in the shaft between the
fifth and sixth weeks of intrauterine life and fuse about the
45th day.
The secondary centre for the medial end appears during 15
to 17 years and the shaft during 21 to 22 years. Secondary
centre for the acromial end .
2.Ossification of scapula :
The scapula ossifies from one primary centre and
seven secondary centre .
The primary centre appears near the glenoid cavity
during the eighth week of development .
Body: 8 weeks in utero
Coracoid process: 12-18 months
Glenoid: 10-11 years
Inferior angle: 14-20 years
Acromion : 14-20 years
Medial border: 14-20 years (puberty)
3.Ossification of Humerus
The humerus ossifies from one Primary centre
and seven Secondary centres.
Primary centres
Middle of the diaphysis during the 8th week.
Secondary centres
Upper end ossifies from three secondary centres :
o Head :First year
o Greater tubercle : Secondary Year
o Lesser tubercle :Fifth year
Epiphysis:Twenty year
Lower end ossifies from four centres which form
two epiphyses
