still growing
Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
The presence of an epiphyseal plates indicates that the bone is still growing. 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
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.
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.
The term for enlarged ends of long bones is epiphysis. This is a thin layer of compact bone overlying spongy bone.
epiphyseal plates
Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
Epiphyseal growth plates can be seen only in growing bones. Cell division from these plates lead to growth of bones. Once these plates are ossified, bone growth stops.
Epiphyseal plates are the places in the bones where growth occurs. Bone cells and tissues form and grow here.
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
It is true that bone growth ceases as a person reaches physical maturity. This is when the epiphyseal plates are replaced by the epiphyseal lines.

Probably a bone-growth disorder.
: The epiphyseal line the part of the bone that replaces the epiphyseal growth plate in long bones once a person has reached their full adult height. An epiphyseal line is visible on a standard x-ray. It looks like a thin dark streak that stretches horizontally across the rounded ends of the bone.
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
There will be no more epiphyseal plates at the ends of the long bones. Until a person is fully grown, these appear as 'spaces' on X-ray. They are really hyaline cartilage that has not completely changed into bone. After that, the plates then appear as epiphyseal lines.
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone that contains growing bone. As people develop, the bone grows longer as a result of activity inside this area. These plates permit growth after birth, allowing the long bones of the body to extend and a person to grow as he or she reaches maturity. Once growth is completed and the person reaches full maturity and stature, the new bone slowly hardens and the plate turns into the epiphyseal line.The plates fuse over at a stable and predictable rate, so someone with experience can examine a bone and make an estimate of its age. After about age 25, when the epiphyseal lines are fully formed, it is much harder to figure the age.
