*Bone Growth and Remodeling
+
**Short bones: endochondral ossification continues in diaphysis until only cartilage rim remains
+
**Long bones: secondary center of ossification develops in epiphyses
+
***'''Epiphyseal Growth Plate''': transverse disc of cartilate between the two ossification centers, allows longitudinal growth to continue to maturity, then closes
+
**'''Primary''' bone has not yet been '''remodelled'''
+
***Contains less mineral and more randomly arranged collagen fibers, trabecular organization
+
**Remodelling occurs by '''Haversian canals'''
+
***Osteoclasts dig out canal, followed by blood vessel invasion
