appositional bone growth
growth of bone in diameter
osteoblasts
bone forming cells
osteoclasts
break down bone
step 4
more ridges form and surround the existing osteon until a full osteon is formed
step 1
osteoblasts deposit matric near an existing artery on bone surface creating ridges
step 2
ridges come close together around the artery
step 3
ridges fuse together as more bone is laid down created the central canal (1st lamellae)
deposition
the process in which bone material is laid down
resorption
the process of removing or digesting old bone tissue
