My horse trainer told me that horses know what is good for them and what is bad for them, if he eats it and nothing happens to him then he's fine and he can eat it, but if he refuses it might mean that he doesn't like it or he thinks it's bad for him. Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last.
1 Measuring the length of long bones can give an estimate of age for children, but this technique is useful only until bones have stopped growing. 2  The tibia completes growth at about age 16 or 17 in girls, and 18 or 19 in boys.he ends (epiphyses) and bony shafts (diaphyses) of long bones form separately in the womb. At birth, the ends of the long bones are mainly cartilage, with centers of bone beginning to form inside.
Growth in length: A long bone grows in length my multiplication of cells in the epiphyseal plate of cartilage. The cartilage cells divide and increase in number. The zone of active division in the epiphyseal plate of cartilage lies towards the epiphysis (end of the bone). long bone grows in thickness by multiplication of cells in the deeper layer of periosteum. The cells lying in the deeper layer of periosteum are known as osteoblasts (bone forming cells). These cells divide continuously and form the osteocytes, thus increase the thickness of bone.
