Final answer:

Longitudinal growth of long bones at the epiphyseal plate and appositional growth explained.


Explanation:

Longitudinal growth of long bones occurs at the epiphyseal plate through the addition of bone tissue and continues until early adulthood when the plate transforms into the epiphyseal line. Appositional growth increases the width of long bones by adding new bone tissue beneath the periosteum, even after longitudinal growth stops.
