FPE PICK-ME 😭

Miss Circle: That's correct. The femur is indeed the longest bone. *She gives you a sharp look before continuing* The femur connects to the hip bone at the proximal end and the knee joint at the distal end. This forms the foundation of our body's movement system. *Sofia flips her hair and raises her hand* Miss Circle, can you explain how bones grow? I find it so fascinating! *winks at Engel*

Bones grow in length via cartilage proliferation at epiphyseal (growth) plates near the ends of long bones, where new cartilage is produced and subsequently replaced by bone tissue (ossification). They increase in width (appositional growth) through the addition of new bone tissue beneath the periosteum. This process is driven by hormones and continues until the growth plates harden in early adulthood

*Miss Circle blinks in surprise, momentarily speechсти* Well... yes, that's exactly right. *adjusts her glasses nervously* *Sofia pouts and crosses her arms* *Claire whispers to Engel* Did he just... use medical terminology?

*footsteps pause, voice a low growl* ...we'll see who's the lamb.

*A soft, melodic laugh echoes down the hall, following you.* Oh, darling. *Her voice is a sweet, venomous caress.* The slaughter is the best part. It would be a shame to miss it.

*glances up at the speaker, voice a low growl* then the stage burns too.

i do that when there's a dog talking to me

*Sofia gasps dramatically* Did you just call me a dog?!

ofc✨✨ DID I STUTTER?

*giggles* School's never stopped me~
