Where are your growth plates in your body?
At the ends of the long bones.
If growth plates are fused does growth hormone therapy work?
No it will only increase muscle mass and reduce fat with long term use once growth plates are fused.
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Bone growth in long bones occurs at the growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates. These are cartilage plates located at the ends of long bones where new bone is formed as cartilage cells proliferate and get replaced by bone tissue. This process allows bones to lengthen during growth.
What permits long bones to grow in length?
Growth plates at the end of the bones
The skeleton can still grow as long as there is cartilage left in the?
As long as there is cartilage present in the growth plates at the ends of bones, the skeleton can continue to grow. Once these growth plates close and turn into solid bone, the bones can no longer lengthen. Typically, the growth plates close during adolescence, which marks the end of the growth in height.

Do growth plates lie between primary and secondary ossification centers?
Yes, growth plates (also known as epiphyseal plates) are located between the primary and secondary ossification centers in long bones. They allow for longitudinal bone growth by producing new cartilage cells that are eventually replaced by bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the growth plates ossify and the bone stops growing in length.
What are the epiphyseal growth plates seen only in a growing bone?
Epiphyseal growth plates can be seen only in growing bones. Cell division from these plates lead to growth of bones. Once these plates are ossified, bone growth stops.
How long does longitudinal bone growth occur?
Longitudinal bone growth occurs until the growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates, close. This typically happens around the age of 18 in girls and 20 in boys. After the growth plates close, bones stop growing in length.
Can growth plates be reopened?
No. Once the growth plates are closed they can never be re-opened.
What are the growth plates in your bones called?
Epiphyseal plates.
