  2. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    A schematic for long bone endochondral ossification. In developing bones, ossification commences within the primary ossification center located in the center of the diaphysis (bone shaft), [5] where the following changes occur: The perichondrium surrounding the cartilage model transforms into the periosteum. During this transformation, special ...

  3. Long bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_bone

    The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate. Bone growth in length is stimulated by the production of growth hormone (GH), a secretion of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

  4. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    Diagram showing stages of endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is the formation of long bones and other bones. This requires a hyaline cartilage precursor. There are two centers of ossification for endochondral ossification. The primary center. In long bones, bone tissue first appears in the diaphysis (middle of shaft).

  5. Ossification center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification_center

    In long bones, the secondary centers appear in the epiphyses. [2] At the end of the formation of the secondary ossification center, the only two areas where the cartilage remains is at the articular cartilage covering the epiphysis and at the epiphyseal plate between the epiphysis and diaphysis. [3] A schematic for long bone endochondral ...

  6. Bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone

    Endochondral ossification occurs in long bones and most other bones in the body; it involves the development of bone from cartilage. This process includes the development of a cartilage model, its growth and development, development of the primary and secondary ossification centers , and the formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal ...

  7. Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate

    The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).

  8. Chondrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrocyte

    Endochondral ossification is the process by which most vertebrate axial skeletons form into hardened bones from cartilage. This process begins with a cartilage anlage where chondrocyte cells will congregate and start their maturation process. Once the chondrocytes have fully matured at the desired rate, the cartilage tissue will harden into ...

  9. Bone collar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_collar

    The bone collar is a cuff of periosteal bone that forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model in developing long bones. [1] The bone collar appears during endochondral bone development to support the growing bone and help it retain its shape.
