Question

Which of the following statements is true about endochondral ossification?

a. It occurs in flat bones.
b. Cartilage is replaced by bone tissue.
c. It is the primary process in intramembranous ossification.
d. Osteoblasts produce cartilage as a precursor.

Answer 1

Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from hyaline cartilage

Step-by-step explanation:

Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from hyaline cartilage. In this process, cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. It is the primary process in the formation of most bones in the body, except for flat bones. Osteoblasts are responsible for producing new bone tissue, not cartilage.
