Question

which type of bone growth occurs in long bones in the body?
intramembranous
oppositional
apical
endochondral

Explanation:

Intramembranous ossification forms flat bones. Oppositional growth increases bone diameter. Apical growth is not a bone - growth type relevant here. Endochondral ossification is the process by which long bones grow in length, starting with a cartilage model that is gradually replaced by bone.
