Summary Introduction
To review:
The steps involved in the process by which bones grow in diameter.
Introduction:
The bones are part of the skeletal system, which provides framework for the attachment of organs and tissues. They grow in length, as well as, in diameter. The bone elongation stops after a certain age. Bones grow in diameter even after elongation stops and this growth is known as appositional growth.
