Where does cartilage remain in a long bone after ossification has occurred?

I think the articular cartilages witch covers the bone ends and the epiphyseal plates are the two last places that remain cartilaginous in the long bone after ossification.

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 are the main events of endochondral ossification?
Meschyme (embryonic connective tissue) develops into a body of hyaline cartilage, covered with fibrous perichondrium, in the location of a future bone. For time, the perichondrium produces chondrocytes and the cartilage model growth in thickness.
How do long bones grow?
A bone collar is formed around the hyaline cartilage model. The hyaline cartilage is then caviated within the cartilage model. Next, the periosteal bud is invaded with internal cavities and spongy bone is formed. This is followed by the formation of the medllary cavity as ossification continues. The epihyses are ossificated and when this process is completed, the hyaline cartilage remains only in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages.
Which bone violates the laws of ossification?
clavicle
Does ossification occur in exoskeletons?
Not really. Exoskeletons are chitinous and not subject to ossification because they are not bone but a dense form of protien.
What is an ossification in the Gluteus Medius Insertion?
An ossification in the gluteus medius insertion means that bone tissue has formed where the bone enters the hip joint. There should not be bone tissue in this location, and having it there would lead to stiffness and loss of motion of the joint.

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.
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.
