Appositional bone growth
Definition

Growth by forming new layers on the

surface of pre existing layers.  

Incresses thickness rather then length.

Term

Definition

Is one of two essential processes

during fetal development of

mammalian skeletal system by

which bone tissue is created.

 

Term
Intramembranous ossification
Definition

One of two essential processes

during fetal development of

the gnathostome skeletal system

by which rudimentary bone

tissue is created. 

 

Term

Pituritary Growth Failure

 

Definition

Reduction in growth hormone 

reduced epiphyseal cartlage activity

short bones

Definition

Over production of growth hormone

before puberty.

Term

Fibrodysplasia Ossification

Progressira 

(FOP)

Definition

Gene mutation that causes bone

disposition around skeletal muscles

Term
Acromegaly
Definition

Growth hormone levels rise after

epiphysale plates close.

Bones get thicker.
