Endochondral ossification
Ossification (or osteogenesis) is the generic term for bone formation. There are two basic types: membranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
They wouldn't grow or get bigger.
Endochondral bone
Endochondral ossification
These are the steps in bone development which begins in the second month of development:â—¾Uses hyaline cartilage "bones" as models for bone constructionâ—¾Requires breakdown of hyaline cartilage prior to ossificationStages of Endochondral Ossificationâ—¾Formation of bone collarâ—¾Cavitation of the hyaline cartilageâ—¾Invasion of internal cavities by the periosteal bud, and spongy bone formationâ—¾Formation of the medullary cavity; appearance of secondary ossification centers in the epiphysesâ—¾Ossification of the epiphyses, with hyaline cartilage remaining only in the epiphyseal plates
The term endochondral is used to indicate a gradual formation (e.g. bone growth in a human fetus).A similar word is :endocrine (glands) - a classification of human body glands producing regulatory hormones
