What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?

Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.


Which bone are babies born without?

What portions of long bones are formed of bone?

All bones are formed from two types of bone structure. The shaft of long bones are composed of compact bone, and the inner parts of the shaft and each end is formed of spongy bone. In addition: in a fully grown adult all of the bones are formed of actual calcified bone. In a growing body however there are still section of Primary Cartillage which can grow. These section are in small plates (called Epiphesial Plates) in the Necks of long bones like the Femur. The neck of a bone like this is where the Head (usually a rounded part that is part of a joint) connects to the main lengthy part. The exact proportions varies far to greatly to put a number on but the vast vast majority of long bones are bone.
