Growth and Differentiation of Bone and Connective Tissue

  • Chapter
Differentiation and Growth of Cells in Vertebrate Tissues

Abstract

In this chapter ‘bone growth’ will be denned very broadly as the totality of the structural changes observable during the life of bones from the time of their first appearance, and emphasis will be placed on the cellular activities which underlie these changes.
