The endocondral ossification process was analyzed in 18 embryos and 12 fetus until three months of pregnancy, which had been collected from pregnant uterus at slaughterhouse. Later, the uterus was separated followed by a dorsal incision from the cervix for better gross evaluations of the embryos and fetus. For the microscopical study, histological techniques had been performed followed by staining of the deposits of calcium and phosphorus match, responsible for the ossification of the cartilage casts, used as Von Kossa stain. Cartilage hypertrophy and death of chondrocytes, enlargement of the area of calcium and phosphorus deposit were foundon the 10th week of pregnancy (74 d). During the 11th week of pregnancy (81 d), the calcium carbonate and phosphorus had spread to all bones, being more intense in diaphysis.
