Figure 6-1 Bone Tissue Use Figure 6-1 to answer the following questions: -Which structure is characteristic of spongy bone?

The articular cartilage of a typical long bone is composed of what type of cartilage?

The following are major steps in the process of intramembranous ossification: 1. Clusters of osteoblasts form osteoid that becomes mineralized. 2) Osteoblasts differentiate within mesenchymal connective tissue. 3) Spicules of bone radiate out from the ossification centers. 4) Mesenchymal cells aggregate. The correct order for these events is:

Intramembranous ossification
