Endochondrium is a layer of cartilage that serves as a precursor to bone in the process of endochondral ossification, where cartilage is gradually replaced by bone tissue during development. It provides a scaffold for the growth of long bones and plays a crucial role in the formation of joints. This cartilage layer is vital for proper skeletal development and growth, particularly during childhood and adolescence.
