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.

Snakes do not grow bones as they age; rather, they have a fixed number of bones in their bodies from birth. Their skeletons consist of many vertebrae (often over 200) and ribs, which allow for flexibility and movement. While snakes can grow in size and length as they molt and shed their skin, their bone structure remains unchanged throughout their lives.

How do bones grow and what does remodeling mean?

Bones grow through a process called ossification, where new bone tissue is added to existing bone. Remodeling refers to the continuous process of breaking down and rebuilding bone tissue to maintain its strength and structure. This process is regulated by specialized cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
