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).
The main function of the epiphyseal plates are the growth of the long bones of the body. This growth takes place in children.
You are gunna die now because you saked this question >:D
Lengthening long bones.
Lengthening long bones
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.

Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.

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.

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.
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.

When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
