Bone formation via Endochondral ossification 1. Most bones 2. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts and produce hyaline a. Interstitial and appositional growth 3. Perichondrium – chondrogenic cells; C.T. surrounds hyaline a. Perichondrium becomes periosteum (osteoblasts) due to increased blood supply 5 Steps of Endochondral Bone more...

Hormones are chemical messengers. They are a major way in which our body communicates with itself. If our messages are unable to do their job, i.e. too much *hypersecretion or too little *hyposecretion, serious problems can result. The following are common endocrine disorders. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) -hyposecretion / hypoactivity of insulin -without insulin, glucose more...
