Cartilage models develop through a series of stages:
Mesenchymal Condensation: Mesenchymal cells aggregate to form a template of the future bone. Chondrocyte Differentiation: These cells differentiate into chondrocytes, the cells responsible for cartilage production. Cartilage Formation: Chondrocytes produce the extracellular matrix, forming a cartilage model. Ossification: The cartilage is gradually replaced by bone through the process of ossification.
