Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wolff's law states that bones adapt to the stresses placed upon them. This means that the thickness and shape of a bone are dependent on the mechanical demands placed upon it. As a bone is loaded, the tissue responds by adding density to those areas experiencing the greatest stress, leading to changes in the shape of the bone over time.
