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

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

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

What cell found in bone functions to deposit bony matrix, resulting in the growth of bone tissue?Multiple ChoiceOsteoclastOsteocyteOsteoblastProgenitor cell
