When blood vessels become surrounded by concentric lamellae forming osteons, it indicates the process of appositional growth, which results in the increase in the diameter of bones. This process involves the addition of new bone tissue on the surface of bones, leading to their thickening and strengthening as they grow wider, not longer.
