Question

In ________ growth, cartilage grows wider or thicker in diameter.
A) appositional
B) intrasitional
C) transitional
D) transformational
E) interstitial

Accepted Answer

Appositional growth is the type of growth where cartilage tissue grows wider or thicker in diameter. It occurs due to the addition of new cartilage matrix on the surface of the existing tissue. The other types of growth mentioned here, such as intrasitional, transitional, transformational, and interstitial, are not related to cartilage growth.
