| process of bone formation by osteoblasts? | ossification |
| endochondral ossification? | process of bone development from hyaline cartilage where long bones lengthen as chondrocytes divide and secrete hyaline cartilage osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone |
| process of bone development from hyaline cartilage? | endochondral ossification |
| when do long bones lengthen during endochondral ossification? | as chondrocytes divide and secrete hyaline cartilage |

| proliferation of chondrocytes is located where? | epiphyseal plate (hyaline cartilage) |
| the epiphyseal plate is what? | hyaline cartilage responsible for bone elongation |
| what is responsible for bone elongation? | proliferation of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate |
| epiphyseal side of plate is? | cartilaginous |
| diaphyseal side of bone is? | replacing cartilage |
| what is side of plate is cartilaginous? | epiphyseal |
| what side of bone replaces cartilage | diaphyseal |
| appositional growth? | increase in diameter of bone by addition of bony tissue at bone surface |
| increase in diameter of bone by addition of bony tissue at bone surface? | appositional growth |
| osteoblasts at bone surface secrete what? | bone matrix |
| osteoclasts are found where? | inner surface of bone |
| osteoclasts do what? | break down bone by differentiating into osteocytes |
| balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts allow what? | bone to thicken without becoming too heavy |
| bone remodeling? | replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue |
| what is the replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue? | bone remodelling |
| bone remodelling requires what? | osteoblast bone deposition and osteoclast resorption |
