the entire egg divides
meroblastic cleavage
the egg divides only in a small area where the original nucleus was located
morula
a solid ball of cells possesing no central cavity (cell growth has taken place)
embryo
what an organism is called in its early stages of development

2. exochondral- bone replace carilage from outside in
3. endochondral- bone replace cartilage from inside out
phagocytosis
process by which cartilage is removed
periosteum

functions in RBC & some WBC formation
white marrow
functions as fat storage tissue
epiphyseal plate
growth plate
aponeurosis
a wide, flat, sheet-like tendon
fibrous membrane
helps to hold the joint together
synovial membrane
secrets synovial fluid
synovial fluid
lubricates joints to reduce friction also nourishes articular cartilage
