The process of cartilage turning into bone is called endochondral ossification. This process is crucial during the development of long bones in the fetus and continues into adolescence as the growth plates close. In endochondral ossification, cartilage serves as a template that is gradually replaced by bone tissue.

What are the cells that produce bone from cartilage are called?
The cells that produce bone from cartilage are called osteoblasts. These specialized cells are responsible for bone formation during the process of endochondral ossification, where cartilage is gradually replaced by bone tissue. Osteoblasts synthesize and secrete the bone matrix, which eventually mineralizes to form hard bone.
Cartilage is replaced by bone in a process called .?
ossification
How does the bone replace the cartilage in the body?
Bone does not usually replace cartilage in the body. Instead, cartilage can be converted into bone during a process called endochondral ossification, which is essential for bone growth and development. This process involves the gradual replacement of cartilage with bone tissue.

There IS a nose bone, in fact it's called the nasal bone at the top of the nose. It's a short bone that doesn't extend the length of the nose. At the end of the nasal bone is where the cartilage starts. You can find anatomical pictures on google for a visual.
Cartilage replacing bone cells are called?
Cartilage replacing bone cells are called chondrocytes. These cells are responsible for the formation and maintenance of cartilage tissue, which provides support and flexibility in various parts of the body. In certain conditions, such as during the growth of long bones, cartilage is gradually replaced by bone through a process called endochondral ossification.
