Term
| endochondral bone formation |
|
Definition
| bone growth that occurs at the end of long bones. Cartilage is eroded, bone is laid down on inside and outside. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| cartilaginous plate (in childhood) between diaphysis and epiphysis, reponsible for growth in length of diaphysis. Growth in long bone continues as long as epiphyseal plates are not being replaced by bone faster than the new cartilage is formed. EP is destroyed and growth stops when cartilage is completely replaced with bone. |

|
Definition
| Girls have epiphyseal fusion 3 years before boys. (earlier sexual maturity & growth ceases earlier compared to boys) |

Term
|
Definition
| cells in the endosteum responsible for destroying bone to allow enlargement of medullary cavity and to prevent bone from becoming to thick as more bone is added to the outer surface |
