endochondral
What process begins in the second month of development, uses hyaline cartilage "bones" formed earlier as models, or patterns for bone construction?
endochondral ossification
The formation of a long bone typically begins in the center of the hyaline cartilage shaft and a region called the ______ ossification center.
primary
Secondary ossification reproduces almost exactly the events of primary ossification, except that the spongy bone in the interior is retained and no medullary cavity forms in the ________.
epiphyses
