What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?
Endochondral Ossification meaning "formed in cartilage.
What is the process of cartilage turning into hard bones?
Ossification
Tough supportive tissue that is softer than bone?
A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone that but that functions within the skeletal system is called cartilage. Cartilage can be found at the tip of your nose, or in your outer ear.
During endochondral bone formation the primary center of ossification forms in the?
it develops in the diaphysis in long bones
What bone is found towards the ends of long bones?
Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally have red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. It is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal cartilage, or growth plate, which aids in the growth of bone length and is eventually replaced by bone.

What is the medical term meaning change from cartilage to bone?
ossification
Does Endochondral ossification occurs when chondrocytes replace osteoblasts in the matrix.?
No, you have it backwards. "Chondro" is the prefix for cartilage while "osteo" is the prefix for bone. Endochondral ossificiation is when the cartilage is replaced by bone, so you would have osteocytes moving into the matrix and replacing the chondrocytes.
When a bone is broken what fills in the space before ossification?
Hyaline cartilage
What is the process of cartilage turning into hard bones?
Ossification
What is the Process of ossification?
the formation of bone from pre-existing hyaline cartilage models
Where does cartilage remain in a long bone after ossification has occurred?
After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
What soft flexible supportive tissue that is replaced by bone during ossification?
cartilage is replaced
Which ossification method would form a femur?
The femur is formed through the endochondral ossification process. This is where bone replaces the cartilage. There are six steps in this type of ossification and they are as follows; one the development of cartilage model, two the growth of the cartilage model, three the development of the primary ossification center, four the development of the medullary cavity, five the development of the secondary ossification centers, and six the formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal plate.
What might happen if children's bones didn't have growth plates of cartilag?
They wouldn't grow or get bigger.
