The area of a long bone where growth in bone length occurs is the?
The Epiphyseal or Growth Plate!
What bone is found towards the ends of long bones?
Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally have red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. It is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal cartilage, or growth plate, which aids in the growth of bone length and is eventually replaced by bone.
Slim long bone beneath the ear?
That bone is called as mandible or jaw bone. You have a pointed process below the ear in bony skull, called as styloid process.
Where is the growth plate of a long bone located?
At the ends, adjacent to the articulating surfaces.
What does the epiphysis do?
It is a vital growth area near the end of a long bone, which later fuses with the main bone through ossification.
How do you get bone spur?
A bone spur is a growth of additional bone on top of normal bone. They usually form when the bone repair process is activated over a long time due to pressure, rubbing, or physical stress on the bone over a period of time.

Appositional growth of a long bone has the effect of?
Increasing the diameter of the bone
Where is the growth plate found on a long bone?
Metaphysis
What is the site of long bone growth?
metaphysis
How does the bone grow lengthwise and what is this process called?
The bones in a human body are growing in diameter through the process of appositional growth. While, bones are growing longer in length in the epiphyseal plate where cartilage is formed and ossified.
What is the growth zone of the long bone called?
Epyphisial plate
What are the three hormones for long bone growth?
calcium, phospherous

Epiphyseal plate being replaced by epiphyseal line is an indication that bone growth?
: 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.
Where is the disc that growth of a long bone takes place?
epiphyseal plate, it is made up of cartilage that expands and is turned into bone with elongates the bone.
