Meckel's Cartilage

Head histology showing detailed view of Meckel's cartilage from the first pharyngeal arch. Inset shows detail of both cartilage and bone development.

  • Meckel's cartilage - is not being replaced by bone, as in endochondral ossification, but it will later degenerate after the bony mandible forms.
  • Mandible bone - intramembranous ossification occurring beside the original cartilage model.
