How does the bone grow lengthwise and what is this process called?

Answer 1

The bones in a human body are growing in diameter through the process of appositional growth. While, bones are growing longer in length in the epiphyseal plate where cartilage is formed and ossified.

Answer 2

The rounded process at the end of a long bone (the joint material) is known as the Epiphysis. The long part of the bone, the Diaphysis.

In between these (at both ends of a long bone) are the Metaphysis including the Epiphyseal plate.

Inside the long bone part is where the red cells are generated (Erythrocytes).

Answer 3

Bones grow two ways. They grow in length and they also grow wider. As a child grows both types of bone growth occur.
The skeleton grows throughout childhood and provides a framework for the rest of the body to grow along with it.
The long bones have a special structure that allows for this growth in length.
Each end bone is called an epiphysis (epi = on; physis = to grow) while the middle bone is called a diaphysis (dia = passing through).
The epiphyses and diaphysis grow towards one another and eventually fuse into one bone. The region of growth and eventual fusion in between the epiphysis and diaphysis is called the metaphysis (meta = after).
This process continues until the end of puberty, when the growth plate stops growing and the bones fuse permanently into a single bone.
Bone growth in width is called oppositional growth.

Answer 4

When milk goes into your body (from any dairy products) they go into your bones and and the inside of the bone fills up and gets bigger and bigger when the milk goes in.
