Question

during bone growth, which significant event occurs at the surface indicated by the letter d?
bone resorption
production of hyaline cartilage
interstitial growth
production of compact bone

Explanation:

The surface indicated by D is the endosteum - lined surface of the medullary cavity. During bone growth, bone resorption occurs here to enlarge the medullary cavity as the bone increases in diameter. Hyaline cartilage production occurs at the epiphyseal plate (not at D). Interstitial growth is growth from within cartilage and not relevant here. Compact - bone production occurs on the outer surface (periosteum) rather than the endosteal surface for appositional growth.

Answer:

bone resorption
