In case of bones you have Diaphysis in the center of bone and Epiphysis at either end. In between you have a plate of cartilage called as Metaphysis. New cells are is formed in this cartilage and get deposition of calcium salt at the end of Diaphysis. There by increasing the length of bone. When maturity age comes, usually by 18 to 20 years, this Metaphysis get ossified and no further growth in length of bones occur. Bone is a living tissue. In which Osteoclast cells continuously remove the bone and Osteoblast cellscontinuously deposit calcium salt in bones. Osteoclast remove the calcium salt and Osteoblasts deposit the calcium salt according to the need of the hour.
