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 is composed of cartilage cells within an extensive and relatively rigid matrix?
epiphyseal plate
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
The layer you are referring to is the epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate. It is found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents, allowing the bone to lengthen as the cartilage cells multiply and are replaced by new bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the epiphyseal plate ossifies and becomes the epiphyseal line.
Child's epiphyseal plate made of hyaline cartilage?
yes you are correct! :)
Where are the dividing cartilage within the epiphyseal plate located?
Farthest from the shaft.
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.
How does cartilage get damaged?
Cartilage gets damaged by blunt forces.
Why epiphyseal closes early?
estrogen directly causes the epiphyseal plates to close, testosterone is converted to estradiol (estrogen) by aromatase, therefore testosterone causes the epiphyseal plates to close indirectly
Where within the epiphyseal plate are the dividing cartilage cells located?
Farthest from the shaft.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis
