18
Q

What are the 2 types of growth?

A

Appositional and interstitial

19
Q

Describe appositional growth

A

Occurs at the surface
Grows down from perichondrium
Carried out by modified fibroblasts

20
Q

Describe interstitial growth

A

Occurs centrally

Grows down from existing chondrocytes

21
Q

How does cartilage repair happen?

A

Calcification

22
Q

What are osteoclasts?

A

Cells that reabsorb bone because bones are constantly being torn down and rebuilt

What does bone provide?

A

Rigid structure and protection

27
Q

What is bone made of?

A

Lacunae connected by canaliculi

28
Q

What is the development of bone called?

A

Osteogenesis

29
