ENDOCHONDRAL BONE OSSIFICATION

Most bones of the skeleton are formed by ____

• bone remodeling
• intramembranous ossification
• endochondral ossification
• cartilage formation

Where does Secondary Ossification occur?

• At the epiphyses of long bones.
• At the surface of flat bones.
• At the diaphysis of long bones.
• In the marrow cavity of bones.

What is an example of endochondral ossification?

• Formation of long bones like the femur.
• Growth of teeth and their roots.
• Development of cartilage in the nose.
• Formation of flat bones like the skull.

What is the area where long bone longitudinal growth takes place?

• Ossification is the process of joint formation.
• Ossification is the process of muscle growth.
• Ossification refers to the breakdown of bone tissue.

Endochondral ossification begins with____.
