The growth pattern of bone in which matrix is laid down on the surface?
appositional growth
The addition of new bone on top of existing bone to increase bone thickness is called?
appositional growth.
What structure is involved in long bone growth length?
Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification Appositional growth
What is the difference between appositional and interstitial growth?
appositional growth increases in thickness, in width, while interstitial growth increases within to increase in length.

What chemical stimulates interstitial cartilage and appositional bone growth?
A chemical does not stimulate appositional growth- weight bearing exercises stiumlate appositional growth.
Appositional growth of a long bone has the effect of?
Increasing the diameter of the bone
The growth pattern of bone in which matrix is laid down on the surface?
appositional growth
What is it called when a bone increases in size?
When the bone increases in diameter, it is called appositional growth.

What are resting lines?
as seen in a histologic section of cortical bone of the mandible, are a result of growth of the mandible by appositional growth
What is bone growth that occurs due to weight lifting at age 40 is most likely?
Appositional
Does appositional or interstitial growth occur in the periosteum?
periosteal surface
Which event must occur first in appositional growth of bones?
The first event in appositional growth of bones is the activation of osteogenic cells, also known as osteoblasts. These cells become active in response to various factors such as hormones or mechanical stress. Once activated, osteoblasts start depositing new bone matrix on the outer surface of existing bone, leading to an increase in bone thickness.
What is the difference between appositional and interstitial growth?
appositional growth increases in thickness, in width, while interstitial growth increases within to increase in length.
