In humans, about 16 years for females and 18 years for males.
Bone growth is controlled by a variety of factors, including growth plates found at the ends of long bones. At around age 20, these growth plates ossify and turn into solid bone, which signals the end of longitudinal bone growth. After this point, bone remodeling and maintenance occur instead of growth.
The growth plate of a long bone is located at the end of the bone, near the joint. It is also known as the epiphyseal plate and is responsible for longitudinal growth during childhood and adolescence.
Long bone growth in length occurs at the growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate. This is a cartilaginous area at the ends of long bones where new bone tissue is formed, leading to longitudinal bone growth.
Interstitial bone growth in long bones occurs in the epiphyseal plate, or growth plate, located at the ends of long bones. Here, cartilage cells (chondrocytes) proliferate, differentiate, hypertrophy, and are replaced by bone tissue, leading to longitudinal bone growth. This process is crucial for growth and development in children and adolescents.
The humerus is a bone in the upper arm that has a long longitudinal axis with expanded ends where it articulates with the scapula at the shoulder joint and the radius and ulna at the elbow joint.

A growth line is a dense transverse line observed in radiographs of long bones. These lines represent bone growth after cessation of longitudinal growth.
The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate, is the site for longitudinal growth in a child. It is a cartilage region at the ends of long bones where bone growth occurs, allowing bones to elongate during childhood and adolescence. Once growth is complete, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.

The cartilage at the end of long bones that closes when growth stops is known as the growth plate or epiphyseal plate. It is responsible for longitudinal bone growth during childhood and adolescence by ossifying to form solid bone.

The region of longitudinal growth in a child is the epiphyseal plate, commonly known as the growth plate. This area is located at the ends of long bones and is responsible for bone lengthening during childhood and adolescence by the process of endochondral ossification. Once growth is complete, the growth plate closes and becomes a bony structure known as the epiphyseal line.
Yes, growth plates (also known as epiphyseal plates) are located between the primary and secondary ossification centers in long bones. They allow for longitudinal bone growth by producing new cartilage cells that are eventually replaced by bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the growth plates ossify and the bone stops growing in length.
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.
to make this question a little clearer:"once the long bone has stopped growing, these areas are replaced with bone and appear as thin, barely discernible remnants- the epiphyseal lines"
