the epiphyseal plate is also called the growth plate. it is the area of cartilage between the diaphysis (the long shaft of the bone) and the epiphysis (the end of a bone). the cartilage will expand and go through a process called ossification and turn into bone. when a person is done growing the epiphyseal plate will turn into an epiphyseal line.

∙ 9y agoThe epiphyseal plate or growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate found at each end of a long bone. This is the site where the cartilage becomes calcified or ossified and forms hard bone tissue.

∙ 10y agoOkay, well we know that when the epiphyseal plate (or epiphyseal union) is fused, the person has reached their full adult stature, and have therefore stopped growing. Usually, one will stop growing pretty much as they end puberty, so during puberty, the plate will be starting to gradually fuse and close, because it will have completely fused by the time they end puberty and their stature is fully achieved.

What is epiphyseal plates composed of?
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.

How is bone marrow articular cartilage the epiphyseal line and epiphyseal plate related?
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.
What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
