INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION – 2
The figure shows an early stage of bone tissue formation by intramembranous ossification.
Observe a small region of bone matrix (highlighted in orange) within a mesenchymal membrane.
This matrix is surrounded by a group of bone cells — osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells (highlighted in blue) that secreted the matrix (highlighted in orange).
Intramembranous ossification. Staining: HE. Magnification: medium.
