The epiphyseal disk is the growth plate in long bones that is found between the two epiphyses and the diaphysis. This is a space that remains as long as a person is growing. When growth is completed, the epiphyses and the diaphysis meet and fuse forming a line.

IT FUNCTIONS AS THE CENTER FOR CELL GROWTH IN THE DISTAL ENDS OF LONG BONES IT CONTROLS THE GROWTH OF LONG BONES. ONE USUALLY LOSSES THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE BY AGE 18

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.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
Epiphyseal plate
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
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.
Which structure allows the diaphysis of the bone to increase in length until early childhood as well as shaping the articular surfaces?
epiphyseal plate
What structure would be present instead of a epiphyseal line?
epiphyseal plate

What is epiphyseal plates composed of?
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.
What is the scientific name for growth plate?
Epiphyseal plate
The growth plate is also known as the what?
The epiphyseal plate.
Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?
If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.

Another name for a growth plate is?
Epiphyseal plate
What happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
