Normal development Normal development

•extremities•body axis, vertebral column•cranium

Questions to ask:

-Where does ossification begin?-Sequence: In what order do the bones of the upper extremities ossify?-Morphology: What is the initial appearance of the osseous primordia?-Developmental courses: How is the osseous morphology changed along the way?
