INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION – 2
The image shows an early stage of bone tissue histogenesis by intramembranous ossification.
Within the a mesenchymal membrane observe a small region of bone extracellular matrix (highlighted in orange). It is directly surrounded by a small group of osteogenic cells — osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells (highlighted in blue) responsible for secreting the bone matrix.
Intramembranous ossification. Staining: HE. Medium magnification.
