appositional growth increases in thickness, in width, while interstitial growth increases within to increase in length.

What is appositional bone growth?

Appositional bone growth is a process where bone tissue is added on the surface of existing bones, increasing their diameter and strength. This type of bone growth occurs throughout life in response to mechanical stress and helps bones adapt to changing physical demands.


What is the process called when bones increase in width?

The process of bones increasing in width is called appositional growth. This occurs when new bone tissue is added to the existing bone surface, resulting in an increase in bone diameter.


When chondrocytes divide and form new matrix it leads to an expansion of the cartilage tissue from within This process is called?

interstitial growth


The growth pattern of bone in which matrix is laid down on the surface?

The growth pattern of bone where matrix is deposited on existing bone surfaces is called appositional growth. Osteoblasts lay down new bone matrix on the outer surface, gradually increasing the bone's diameter and strength. This process helps bones to adapt and respond to mechanical stress.


Why bone can't undergo interstitial growth?

: Osseous tissue is largely made up of inorganic material and when this is set into place, it is not conducive to dynamic change as this requires excessive force/energy and compromises structural integrity of the bone. : Interstitial growth requires the hyperplasia or hypertrophy of cells within the interior of a part or structure such that they push the other formed cells outwards. As a structural organ, bone is very hard and rigid and as such it requires excessive force to create new space interstitially.

What chemical stimulates interstitial cartilage and appositional bone growth?

A chemical does not stimulate appositional growth- weight bearing exercises stiumlate appositional growth.


Does appositional or interstitial growth occur in the periosteum?

Appositional growth occurs in the periosteum, where new bone tissue is added to the surface. Interstitial growth, on the other hand, occurs within the bone itself, at the epiphyseal plates during growth.
