Appositional Growth

[Amy]

I read a small paragraph about ‘Appositional Growth’ which i do not
understand:

‘As new bone tissue is deposited on the outer surface of bone, the bone tissue
lining the medullary cavity is destroyed by osteoclasts in the endosteum. In
this way, the medullary cavity enlarges as the bone increases in thickness’.

I thought that the bone tissue lining of the medullary cavity was the endosteum?
😕

I remember I already answered your question and also put some figures on it but where is it now? It’s gone? Aww… 🙁

[MrMistery]

No it is not gone. It is here about4099.html&highlight=appositional+growth

By the way, why did you ask the same question 2 days in a row?

[Dr.Stein]

Aha! Now I got the clue: twin threads 🙂

Well, Andrew, close one of them so none will be confused just as like I did 😉 I think this one.
