A)fibrous connective tissue.

C)the process of intramembranous ossification.
D)the process of endochondral ossification.
E)hyaline cartilage models and the process of endochondral ossification.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most bones in the appendicular skeleton, such as the limb bones, pelvic girdle, and pectoral girdle, develop from hyaline cartilage models through the process of endochondral ossification. This involves the replacement of the cartilage model with bone tissue by the deposition of calcium salts and the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Therefore, option E is the best choice since it describes the correct developmental process for these bones.
