23) What happens to the epiphyseal plates during puberty when the production of sex hormones increases? A) widen B) become narrower C) increase slowly D) accelerate rapidly; but mostly in thickness E) are hardly affected 24) What can cause acceleration of the closure of the epiphyseal plates? A) high levels of vitamin D B) too much calcium in the diet C) elevated levels of estrogen D) too little thyroxine E) an excess of growth hormone 25) What happens to bone when cartilage is produced on the epiphyseal side of the metaphysis and more bone is deposited on the opposite side? A) become longer B) become wider C) become thinner D) become more porous and weaker E) become thicker 10) What impact does appositional growth have on the outer surface of the bone? A) increase in length B) increase in width C) increase in thickness D) increase in density E) increase in strength

Which is true about the growth of long bones? A) Before adolescence, bones are completely made up of cartilage; after puberty, they ossify and harden. B) Osteoclasts are responsible for depositing new bone tissue at the epiphyseal growth plate before puberty. C) Growth in length occurs at a single epiphyseal growth plate in the center of the shaft of long bones. D) Osteoblasts dissolve bone tissue when bones remodel in response to sex hormones. E) Growth in length occurs at two epiphyseal growth plates near the ends of long bones.
