| GO term: | ossification |
| Synonym: | bone biosynthesis |
| Synonym: | bone formation |
| Synonym: | osteogenesis |
| GO id: | GO:0001503 |
| Definition: | The formation of bone or of a bony substance, or the conversion of fibrous tissue or of cartilage into bone or a bony substance. |
| Comments | Note that this term does not have a 'developmental process' parent because ossification isn't necessarily developmental, can also occur as part of bone remodeling. Instead use 'ossification involved in bone maturation ; GO:0043931'. |
| Number of paths to term: | 2 |
