🗑
the structure that allows the diaphysis to increase in length until early childhood as well as shaping the articular sufaces   epiphyseal plate  
🗑

🗑
osteomyelitis is   due to pus forming bacteria  
🗑
What is appositional growth   the secretion of new matrix aganist the external face of existing cartilage  
🗑
in the epiphyseal plate cartilage grows   by pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis  
🗑
spongy bones are made up of a framework called   trabeculae  
🗑
osteogenesis is the process of   bone formation  
🗑
lengthwise long bone growth during infancy and youth is exclusivly through   interstitial growth of the epiphyseal plates  
🗑

🗑
elevated levels of sex hormones cause   the epiphseal plate of the long bones of children to close to early  
🗑
normal bone formation and growth are dependent on the adequate intake of   calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D  
🗑
ostealgia is   pain in the bone  
🗑
