Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Appositional growth is the growth pattern of bone where matrix is laid down on the surface. This increases the diameter of long bones.

Answer: A 
 Intramembranous ossification is the growth pattern of bone where bone develops from a fibrous membrane. This occurs in the flat bones of the skull and clavicle.

Answer: E 
 The epiphyseal plate is the growth plate of long bones where new bone is formed as chondrocytes lay down matrix. This is responsible for the lengthening of long bones.

Answer: D 
 Chondrocytes are cartilage cells that are responsible for laying down matrix in the epiphyseal plate during bone growth.

Answer: C 
 The epiphyseal line is a remnant of the epiphyseal plate in adult bones. It is a line of compact bone that marks the end of bone growth.
