Deposition:
the biological process of laying down the bone
|
|
|
|
|
Resorption:
the biological process of removing the bone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remodeling: A basic part of bone growth involves
simultaneous deposition and
|
|
|
resorption
on all inner and outer surfaces of the entire bone. It
|
|
|
provides regional changes in shape, dimensions, and proportions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drift: Growth movement of an enlarging
portion of a bone by the remodeling. The
|
|
combinations of deposition and resorption result in growth movement
|
|
|
|
toward
the depository surface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Displacement: The growth movement of a whole bone as a
unit. The bone is carried
|
|
|
away
from its articulation in relation to other bones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Direction
of growth: 1) the direction of drift
|
|
|
2)
the direction of displacement
|
|
|
3)
the net direction of drift and displacement.
