Where does cartilage remain in a long bone after ossification has occurred?
After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.

Where are osteogenic zones seen?
Osteogenic zones are primarily seen in the growth plates of long bones, also known as the epiphyseal plates. These zones of specialized cartilage allow for bone growth during development. The different zones within the growth plate are responsible for various stages of bone formation and resorption.
When you are born what is most of your skeleton made up of?
At birth, the majority of the human skeleton is mineralized bone, although there are still cartilage growth plates in all the long bones.
What is a growth plate?
A growth plate is a region of cartilage at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents where bone growth occurs. It eventually hardens into solid bone once growth is complete. Injuries to growth plates can affect bone growth and development.
