Which statement below best describes the two principle ways in which bones can grow.Multiple choice question.The periosteum lays down new bone matrix which increases the length and girth of the bone.Hyaline cartilage grows throughout life producing a skeleton that continually gets longer and wider.All bone growth occurs by new matrix being created near the periosteum of the bone.Until skeletal maturity, bones grow longitudinally at the epiphyseal plates and in diameter by creating more matrix near the periosteum.

What process allows bones to increase in length?Group of answer choicesFormation of the epiphyseal lineNone of these processes would allow the bone to grow in lengthCartilage growth at epiphyseal plateDeposition of new bone beneath the periosteumHollowing out of the medullary cavity by osteoclasts

What is the process by which a bone grows in length?Multiple ChoiceDeposit of compact bone beneath the periosteum of the diaphysisIncreased activity within the epiphyseal plateCell division in the medullary cavityIncreased production of bone matrix by osteoclasts

Which type of bone growth occurs within mature bone and results in the bone becoming thicker?Multiple choice question.Interstitial growthAppositional growthEndochondral growth

Bone remodeling may occurMultiple Choiceas bones grow.as bones adjust to stress.as fractures heal.constantly during a person's lifetime.All of these choices are correct.

What is appositional growth in bones?Multiple choice question.Growth in width of the boneGrowth in length of the bone
