A

on the epiphyseal surfaces as the articular cartilages
at the junctions of diaphysis and epiphyses where it forms the epiphyseal plates

61
Q

How do bones grow?

A

long bones lengthen entirely by interstitial growth of the epiphyseal plates and all bones grow in thickness by appositional growth

62
Q

How does bone remodeling work?

A

Bone has to be reshaped to be incorporated into the diaphysis, but the diaphysis also has to be get thicker and stronger as the bone lengthens
bone is destroyed by osteoclasts and laid down by osteoblasts on both the inner and outer surfaces of a growing long bone
Epiphyseal plate stays ~ same size throughout childhood, becomes thinner
Longitudinal growth ends when bone of the epiphysis & diaphysis fuses = epiphyseal plate closure

63
Q

How does hematoma formation work?

A

local bone cells are deprived of oxygen and die; inflammation causes pain
