Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Circumferential lamellae are layers of bone matrix added to the outer surface of the bone during appositional growth. Each layer is added on top of the previous layer, increasing the diameter of the bone. Osteons are not added to the outer surface, perforating fibers are involved in anchoring periosteum to the bone surface, and osteoclastic crypts are not a known structure involved in bone growth.
