Q

Describe difference between growth control Sites vs Centers

A

Site: Location at which growth occurs
Center: Location at which independent (genetically controlled) growth occurs
**All centers are sites, but not all sites are centers

Q

T/F, Sutures and Synchondroses are growth centers

A

False, the sutural theory was disproven.

  • Sutures transplanted to another site do not continue to grow
  • Sutures respond to outside influences
