The formation of bone. 2. A change into bone. [L. ossificatio, fr. os, bone, + facio, to make] ossification (ŏs′ə-fĭ-kā′shən)n.1. The natural process of bone formation.2. a.

See: illustrationillustrationintramembranous ossificationThe formation of bone in or underneath a fibrous membrane, such as occurs in the formation of the cranial bones. pathologic ossificationThe formation of bone in abnormal sites or abnormal development of bone.periosteal ossificationThe formation of successive thin layers of bone by osteoblasts between the underlying bone or cartilage and the cellular and fibrous layer that covers the forming bone. Also called subperiosteal ossification. ossification The process of conversion of other tissues into bone. Most bone forms from CARTILAGE but some is laid down by other connective tissue (membranous bone). Ossification may also occur in tissues that have been the site of disease such as long-term inflammation.ossification bone formation which replaces another structure such as cartilage.os·si·fi·ca·tion (os'i-fi-kā'shŭn) 1.
