Endochondral Ossification  Endochondral/cartilaginous ossification Endochondral/cartilaginous ossification is the process of formation of bone from the preformed cartilaginous model (premature long bone). The process of bone formation begins in the centre of the shaft of a long bone. This site where bone formation begins is called the primary ossification centre. This … [Read more...] about Endochondral ossification Anatomy
