Growth in length and thickness
Bone grows in length thanks to the epiphyseal line. It is made of cartilage, which has the ability to grow by mitosis
As far as the growth in thickness is concerned, it happens by dint of two simultaneuos processes
Osteoblasts, which are located in the periosteum, can form a compact bone due to stress and muscle activity
Osteoclasts inside the endosteum break down the inside surface of the bone. The process protects the bone from being excessively heavy
