The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage that will provide a scaffold for mineralization of endochondral bones as they elongate or grow. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the skeleton over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The skeleton is the bony framework of the body in vertebrates (endoskeleton) or the hard outer envelope of insects (exoskeleton or dermoskeleton). The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cartilage is a connective tissue dominated by extracellular matrix containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulfate. The process whereby a chondroblast acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of a chondrocyte that will contribute to the development of a bone. A chondrocyte is a polymorphic cell that forms cartilage. The process by which bones are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage that will provide a scaffold for mineralization of endochondral bones. The process by which bones are generated and organized as a result of the conversion of initial cartilaginous anlage into bone. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tissue over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
