Why would it be impossible for bones to grow from within?

Answer 1

when bones grow thay are kind of made of cartilage thay create structure canals for nerves and holes for special cells, then the structure is turned into the "calcium" type bone we think of. The long bones keep an end area that is cartilagious so that they can grow a little in length the inside of a long bone does stuff like make red blood cells.when you break a bone that area is turned back to cartilage it is remade then turnes back to hard bone ..check out ostioclasts!!.........*d

Answer 2

Simply put, it would be like trying to blow up a big balloon from the inside of a small balloon. You can't make the one on the inside bigger than the one on the outside unless you shatter the outside one.

And since it's not a good idea for your bones to shatter in order to grow...
