Intramembranous Ossification Centre

  • Histological areas of a gradual transition from connective tissue to bone.
  • Light, pinkish bone matrix is found between the osteoblasts.
  • Depending on the state of development of the bone, it is occasionally possible to find bone trabeculae which are lined by a layer of osteoblasts.
  • These osteblasts are depositing the first lamellae on the already existing trabeculae.
  • The trabeculae will therefore have a core of woven bone, which is surrounded by lamellar bone.
  • Compare the shapes, sizes and frequencies of lacunae in lamellar and woven bone if both types of bone are present.
