The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate), is the hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone. This is where major growth occurs in the appendages (arms and legs).

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.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
Epiphyseal plate
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.
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
What happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
Where is the region of growth in a bone?
In the epiphyseal plate.
