Joints
Building bone outwards
Appositional growth
Holds bones together
Involves bone ends
Involves soft tissues
Allows control of movement
Joints
Job to connect bones together
All connective tissues
Found where bones meet and move against each other
Hyaline cartilage
Endochondral ossification
Process of turning cartilage into bone
Briefly explain the steps of endochondral ossification
- Blood vessels and osteoblasts external
- Blood vessels and osteoblasts internal
- Primary ossification centre developed
Primary ossification center
Diaphysis (shaft)
Secondary ossification centre
Epiphyses
