Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How do mechanical stresses strengthen bone tissue? by increasing deposition of mineral salts and production of collagen fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even though bones stop growing in length in early adulthood, they can continue to increase in thickness or diameter throughout life in response to stress from increased muscle activity or to weight. The increase in diameter is called appositional growth.
