bone
Most developmental bones in the embryo are made of cartilage, which later ossifies (hardens) to form bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

The skeleton of an embryo is originally made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that later undergoes ossification to become bone. During development, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process known as endochondral ossification.
Yes, babies are born with more cartilage in their bones as this serves as a scaffold for bone development. As the child grows, the cartilage is gradually replaced by bone cells through a process called ossification, resulting in harder and stronger bones.
A cartilage skeleton is a structure primarily composed of cartilage, a flexible and resilient connective tissue, rather than bone. This type of skeleton is characteristic of certain animals, such as sharks and rays, which belong to the class Chondrichthyes. In some juvenile vertebrates, like amphibians, a cartilage skeleton can also serve as a precursor to a bony skeleton that develops later in life. Cartilage allows for greater flexibility and lighter weight compared to a bony skeleton.
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.
The embryonic skeleton is primarily formed by a cartilage model, specifically hyaline cartilage, which later ossifies to become bone through the process of endochondral ossification. This cartilage framework provides the initial shape and structure for the future bones. At joints, the surfaces of bones are covered by articular cartilage, also composed of hyaline cartilage, which facilitates smooth movement and reduces friction between bones during articulation.

The most prominent cartilage in the anterior larynx is the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is a shield shaped structure made of hyaline cartilage.
