Question

which type of bone growth occurs throughout adulthood and is characterized by the change in the thickness (width) of the bone?
answers: a - e
a fracture repair
b remodeling
c endochondral ossification
d intramembranous ossification
e ossification in vitro

Explanation:

Bone remodeling occurs throughout adulthood. It involves osteoclasts (resorbing old bone) and osteoblasts (forming new bone), changing bone thickness (width). Fracture repair is for healing breaks. Endochondral and intramembranous ossification are for initial bone formation (not adult - width changes). Ossification in vitro is lab - based, not in - vivo adult bone width change.

Answer:

B. Remodeling
