Bone: deposition
A cross section through the diaphysis of a developing long bone summarizes the configurations produced by bone deposition by endosteum and periosteum. Inner and outer circumferential lamellae increase the diameter of the diaphysis to accommodate increasing body mass. Centrally located osteons provide great strength to long bones. 40x
