development process
1) long bones of body develop as models formed by hyalin cartilage

2) primary ossification centers appear in long bones

3) cartilage component of the model will grow and contribute to increased length

4) cells at either end of the primary ossification center are involved in the breakdown of cartilage and its replacement by bone

5) at birth, a shaft that is bone, surrounded by periosteum

6) secondary ossification centers appear after birth, up to about 18 years

7) for many long bones, a second secondary center will appear at the other end of the bone

8) GROWTH PLATE is name for the cartilage between the ossification centers
