|Prompt=Osteogenesis is a complex process that results in the development of bone. Intramembranous and endochondral ossifications are 2 phenomena that lead to osteogenesis. Both modes are similar in their conversion of a preexisting tissue into bone. However, intamembranous and endochondral ossifications differ greatly in the means to form bone. Which of the following statements is true regarding osteogenesis?
|MainCategory=Physiology
|Explanation=Both processes, the intramembranous and the endochondral ossifications, are required for osteogenesis. While endochondral ossification requires cartilage from mesenchyme cells to be ultimately replaced by bone, intramembranous ossification does not involve cartilage and bone is formed directly by the formation of osteoblasts from neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells that secrete collagen-proteoglycan matrix. The latter may bind to calcium salts to ultimately calcify the osteoid, which is the prebone. As osteoblasts aid in the calcification process, they are trapped within the matrix. Trapped cells are differentiated into osteocytes, or mature bone cells. Intamembranous ossification requires the activation of transcription factors, such as CBFA1.

|MainCategory=Physiology
Endochondral ossification leads to formation of cartilage by chondrocytes that secrete the extracellular matrix. The cartilage forms a model is eventually replaced by bone starting at the center and then in the outward direction towards the edges. Osteoblasts start forming at the edge of the cartilage model and slowly replace cartilage by bone. Involvement of Pax1 and Scleraxis, 2 transcription factors, is required for formation of endochondral ossification.

|MainCategory=Physiology
Osteoclasts, derived from macrophage stem cells, are linked to the matrix and pump hydrogen ions onto the matrix to acidify and dissolve it. Osteoprotegerin and its ligand are required for the conversion of macrophage stem cells into osteoclasts. The latter is under strict hormonal regulation at all times under physiologic conditions.
