developing hyaline cartilage
What is this tissue?
trabeculae, developing bone
What is the structure indicated by the arrow? What kind of tissue is it made of?
mesenchyme (embryonic CT) surrounding developing bone (intramembranous ossification- because bone is not replacing exiciting cartilage)

osteoclast is a large, multinucleated cell with noticeably eosinophilic cytoplasm. Often times, but not apparent in this image, they may be found in a depression in the bone surface known as a resorption bay or Howship's lacunae. The remnants of calcified cartilage matrix seen here are a sure indication that the bone seen in this image if forming by endochondral ossification.
