Describe the process of bone growth

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Bone is a collection of multiple cells, cellular secretions, and mineral salts, collectively enveloped by the periosteum, and constantly undergoing remodeling. Osteoclasts secrete hydrolytic enzymes that generate tunnels to allow for penetration by blood vessels and invading osteoblasts. Osteoblasts secrete collagen fibers that serve as the framework for the deposition of calcium phosphate apatite.
