At the epiphyseal plate, which zone is characterized by older cartilage cells that are enlarging?
a) proliferation zone b) calcification zone c) ossification zone d) hypertrophic zon
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.
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.
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.
What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
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.
What is composed of cartilage cells within an extensive and relatively rigid matrix?
epiphyseal plate
Where within the epiphyseal plate are the dividing cartilage cells located?
Farthest from the shaft.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis

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.

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 happens in the epiphyseal face?
The cartilage cells at the epiphyseal side are continuing to grow and divide mitotiacally and the diaphyseal side are aging and dying and the osteoblast move in to form bone. So they are growing on the ends side and in the middle side of the Epiphyseal line they are dying and form bone.
What is the correct sequence of processes that occur during bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate?
The sequence of processes during bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate includes: proliferation of chondrocytes, hypertrophy of chondrocytes, calcification of the cartilage matrix, death of chondrocytes, invasion of blood vessels and osteogenic cells, and finally ossification of the cartilage leading to bone formation.
Compare and contrast events occurring on the epiphyseal and diaphyseal faces?
The cartilage cells at the epiphyseal side are continuing to grow and divide mitotically, while the ones on the diaphyseal side are aging, dying and then osteoblasts move in to form bone. See this site for more detail and nice diagrams: http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_a… -JSO
