* '''fibroblast growth factor receptor | * '''fibroblast growth factor receptor''' - receptors comprise a family of at least 4 related but individually distinct tyrosine kinase receptors (FGFR1- 4). They have a similar protein structure, with 3 immunoglobulin-like domains in the extracellular region, a single membrane spanning segment, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. | ||
* '''heterotopic ossification''' - (HO) a disorder of extra-skeletal bone formation that occurs as a complication of trauma or in rare genetic disorders. | |||
* '''haematopoiesis''' (Greek, ''haima'' = "blood"; ''poiesis'' = "to make") the process of blood cell formation. In the adult, this occurs only in the bone marrow. In the embryo this occurs in other locations (yolk sac, liver, spleen, thymus) until bone develops. | * '''haematopoiesis''' (Greek, ''haima'' = "blood"; ''poiesis'' = "to make") the process of blood cell formation.
