Endochondral ossification
ossification
Endochondral ossification is the type of ossification in bones that are formed in cartilage. This process involves the replacement of cartilage by bone during development and growth.
Chondroblasts are responsible for the early stages of endochondral ossification. These cells secrete cartilage matrix to form the cartilaginous model that will later be replaced by bone.
Intramembranous ossification
There are two ways bones are formed, intramembranous ossification, and endochondral ossification. Intramembranous ossification is how the flat bones are formed, while the long bones are formed with endochondral ossification.
it develops in the diaphysis in long bones
Long bones are developed by endochondral ossification, which requires a cartilage precursor.
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.
During endochondral ossification, the hyaline cartilage model in the embryo is gradually replaced by bone tissue. Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix around the cartilage model, which is then mineralized and eventually becomes mature bone tissue.
