Q
Besides growing in length, bones must also grow in_______ in the young adult?
A
diameter
2
Q
How is the growth in diameter accomplished?
A
It is accompolished by the growth of the actual bone. NOT by the growth of the cartilage in the growth plates (metaphysis)
3
Q
What type of growth does bone have?
A
Appositional growth (meaning bone is hard (calcified) so it can’t expand from within)
