When the bone has stopped growing, the epiphyseal plates will have fused together and are now called epiphyseal lines.An epiphyseal plate indicates that a person is still growing because its presence is only found in children. Adults have an epiphyseal line in its place. The plate indicates that mitosis is still proliferating the bone tissues.bone length is increasing


If epiphyseal plates are visible on X-ray the bone is what?

If epiphyseal plates are visible on X-ray, it indicates that the bone is still actively growing and is not fully matured. Epiphyseal plates are growth plates found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents, with closure indicating the end of bone growth.


Bone X rays are sometimes used to determine whether a person had reached his or her final height?

Long bones of the body, such as the femur, have an epiphyseal cartilage, a plate of cartilage that separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis as long as the bone is still growing lengthwise. An x-ray would indicate whether the epiphyseal cartilage is still present. The clinicians check if the cartilage is still there and if it is, growth is still occurring; if it is not, the bone has reached its adult length.


It is possible to determine of a chils's long bone is growing by examining a radiograph of the?

Yes, it is possible to determine if a child's long bone is still growing by examining a radiograph. The presence of growth plates at the ends of long bones indicates ongoing growth, while their closure suggests the end of growth. This information can help with predicting future growth potential and assessing any growth disorders.


Cells that build bones?

What is epiphyseal ossification?

normal growing up.the person has stopped growing and the bone is being laid down in the growing parts of the bone,so no more growing


How could x-rays of the femur be used to determine whether a person had reached full height?

once you are done growing, your epiphyseal plates (growth plates) which are cartilage, become ossified and turn to bone. If you still have the cartilage, you are not done growing. If it is all bone, you are.

No, this is a myth. The idea is that the ends of the bone are still growing, so it could stunt growth if you break a bone. But this is undocumented, and there are too many benefits to lifting to neglect.
