Q
What happens in endochondral ossification?
A
- The fetal hyaline cartilage develops
- cartilage calcifies and peristas bone collar forms
- primary ossification center form in the epiphysis
- bone replaces cartilage, except the articular cartilage and epiphyseal plates
- epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal lines
5

A
The epiphyseal plate is a layer of hyaline cartilage at the boundary of the epiphysis and diaphysis
