Here are three videos covering most aspects of bone that I would expect you to know. In two cases we are looking at developing bone, while in the third we are looking at fully (or nearly fully) developed lamellar bone. You will study decalcified lamellar bone and you should attempt to compare and contrast this with the ground bone specimen you have viewed previously. You will study the epiphyseal plate, the hyaline cartilage structure which drives growth in length of long bones and on this slide you should concentrate on recognizing and understanding the process taking place here. Finally you will look at a developing animal paw with the purpose of gaining an overview of endochondral bone development.
