Metaphysis
The clumps of growth are called colonies.

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.

Epiphyseal plate
In those who are not fully adult, growth plates are located on the ends of long bones. On the arm, the growth plate is located on the end of the humerus near the elbow.
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
The scientific name for a growth plate is physis. It is a layer of cartilage located at the ends of bones in children and adolescents that allows for bone growth.
