Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endochondral ossification begins with the development of a cartilage model (F), followed by the calcification of cartilage and formation of a bone collar (B). An ossification center forms in the diaphysis (A), then in the epiphyses (C). Bone replaces cartilage (D), and finally, the epiphyseal plates ossify (E).
