Are such as, in the progress of ossification, have to form an integrant part of bones; as those of the long bones in the new-born infant. They are termed temporary; the others being permanent. All the cartilages, with the exception of the articular, are surrounded by a membrane analogous to the periosteum, called Perichon'drium.
