Cartilage can grow through interstitial growth, which involves chondrocytes replicating and secreting matrix, and appositional growth, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts. The epiphyseal plate allows long bones to grow in length by chondrocytes undergoing mitosis, while bone growth in diameter occurs through appositional growth. Hormones like growth hormone and calcitriol promote bone growth, and the healing process after a fracture involves the formation of a callus and the activity of
