What is the 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.
What is the growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
What happens to bone growth if the epiphyseal plate is damaged?
Bone growth would be stunted due to the damage done to the epiphyseal plate. The degree of which growth would be affected depends on the severity of the injury.
Epiphyseal plate being replaced by epiphyseal line is an indication that bone growth?
: The epiphyseal line the part of the bone that replaces the epiphyseal growth plate in long bones once a person has reached their full adult height. An epiphyseal line is visible on a standard x-ray. It looks like a thin dark streak that stretches horizontally across the rounded ends of the bone.
What hormone is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity?
GROWTH hormone
What does the presence of an epiphyseal plate indicate?
The presence of an epiphyseal plates indicates that the bone is still growing. When the bone has stopped growing, the epiphyseal plates will have fused together and are now called epiphyseal lines.An epiphyseal plate indicates that a person is still growing because its presence is only found in children. Adults have an epiphyseal line in its place. The plate indicates that mitosis is still proliferating the bone tissues.bone length is increasing
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
Epiphyseal plate
Difference between epiphyseal plate and epiphyseal line?
Cartilage plate that servs as a growth area along the bone lenghing, it allows the dialysis of the bone to increase in length until early adulthood. When growth stops the epiphyseal plate is replaced with bone, then becoming the epiphseal line.
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
What structure would be present instead of a epiphyseal line?
epiphyseal plate
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.
What is the scientific name for growth plate?
Epiphyseal plate
The growth plate is also known as the what?
The epiphyseal plate.
What is the structure of an epiphyseal plate?
The epiphyseal disk is the growth plate in long bones that is found between the two epiphyses and the diaphysis. This is a space that remains as long as a person is growing. When growth is completed, the epiphyses and the diaphysis meet and fuse forming a line.
Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?
If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.
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.
Another name for a growth plate is?
Epiphyseal plate
