What else can I help you with?
Where within the epiphyseal plate is the dividing cartilage cells located?
The dividing cartilage cells are located in the zone of proliferation within the epiphyseal plate. This zone is where chondrocytes actively divide and contribute to bone growth.
Where within the epiphyseal plate are the dividing cartilage cells located?
Farthest from the shaft.
What is composed of cartilage cells within an extensive and relatively rigid matrix?
epiphyseal plate
Why epiphyseal plates remain thin while they grow?
Chondrocytes divide rapidly and form columns of stacked cells at the epiphyseal cartilage of short and long bones. During the growth towards the ends of bones, the chondrocytes that were originally dividing in closest proximity to the center of the bone (still within the epiphyseal cartilage), die and become resorbed matrix. This matrix soon becomes calcified. Because the proliferation and destruction of chondrocytes occur at the same rate, the epiphyseal plate does not change thickness. It does, however, grow away from the middle of the bone.
What are the fuctions of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphyseal plates are the places in the bones where growth occurs. Bone cells and tissues form and grow here.
At the epiphyseal plate, which zone is characterized by older cartilage cells that are enlarging?
The zone characterized by older cartilage cells that are enlarging at the epiphyseal plate is the hypertrophic zone. In this zone, chondrocytes cease dividing and start to enlarge, contributing to longitudinal bone growth.
Where is chloroplasts located?
in the cytoplasm
Where in the cell are chromososmes located?
Inside the nucleus. In dividing cells they migrate to the poles.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Bone growth in long bones occurs at the growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates. These are cartilage plates located at the ends of long bones where new bone is formed as cartilage cells proliferate and get replaced by bone tissue. This process allows bones to lengthen during growth.
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.
Where are chloroplasts located?
Chloroplasts are located within plant and algal cells, specifically in the cytoplasm. They are found in the mesophyll cells of a plant's leaves and can also be present in other green parts of the plant, such as stems.
