Answer:

Endochondral ossification can be defined as two essential processes by which the development of mammalian skeletal system takes place.

During this process the bone tissue of the body is created. Cartilage is present during the time of endochondral ossification.

There are five major steps involved in this process.

  • Bone Collar Formation
  • Cavitation
  • Periosteal Bud Invasion
  • Diaphysis Elongation
  • Epiphiseal Ossification
