long bone arise from endochondral ossification or intramembranous ossification? Thanks. The topscore said it's from endochondral, but I think it's intramembranous. Or maybe it is both? Thanks!
 
I just finished studying this in A&P: Long bones arise from endochondral ossification (where bone replaces cartilage), as do most bones of the body.

Typically all long bones arise from endochondral and flat-bones are intramembranous.
 
bone growth via width (ie increasing diameter) is via intracartiliagenous model; bone growth via length is via endochondral ossification at the ephipyseal plates. Note that the periosteal collar is important to the diaphysis in bone development.
