MSH: The growth and development of bones from fetus to adult. It includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth: growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages and growth in thickness by depositing new bone (OSTEOGENESIS) with the actions of OSTEOBLASTS and OSTEOCLASTS.,CSP: growth and development of bones from fetus to adult; includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth, which are growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages, and growth in thickness by depositing new bone; see also OSTEOGENESIS.,GO: The process whose specific outcome is the progression of bone over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Bone is the hard skeletal connective tissue consisting of both mineral and cellular components. [GOC:dph]
