Due to what is the growth of bones in length and width?
November 11, 2020 | Education
| Bones grow in width due to the inner layer of cells of the periosteum, and in length, tubular bones grow due to a special cartilaginous zone located between the diaphysis and the epiphyses of the bones. Growth stops in women by the age of 18–20, and in men by the age of 20–25.
