1 Schematic representation of the bone formation process.
Schematic representation of the bone formation process. Firstly, a team of osteoblasts synthesises organic bone matrix and deposits it on an already existing surface of mineralised bone. This can be the surface of a trabecula or of the bone's cortex. In a second step occurring several days later, mineral is added to the newly deposited organic matrix.
