Interstitial bone growth in long bones?
Interstitial growth is the interior growth of a part or straucture such that they push the already formed outer cells outward. This type of growth is absent in bones.
What is the term for the enlarged ends of long bones?
The term for enlarged ends of long bones is epiphysis. This is a thin layer of compact bone overlying spongy bone.
How long does longitudinal bone growth occur?
In humans, about 16 years for females and 18 years for males.
What is the structure of an epiphyseal plate?
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.
What happens if the epiphyseal plate of long bones in children closes too early?
If this happens, then the growth of the bones will stop lengthwise. So the height of the boy will not increase further. The breadth of the bone can still increase. You have two such plates in long bone. Both needs to be closed in order to stop the growth length wise.

What are growth lines?
A growth line is a dense transverse line observed in radiographs of long bones. These lines represent bone growth after cessation of longitudinal growth.
What is the type of bones?
The femur bone is a typed as a Long bones - these are the bones connected with large movement. They are long and cylindrincal with growth heads - epiphyses at either end. The epiphysis is covered by articular cartilage. The outer layer of the bone is hard, and is called "compact bone". The inside of the bone is spongy, called "cancellous bone". Examples of long bones include the femur (thigh bone), the humerus (upper bone in the arm) and the phalanges (fingers and toes).

When shooting in netball what bones are used?
the bones used in shooting in netball is the humerus (long bone), ulna (long bone), radius (long bone), wrist - carpals and metacarpals (short bones), femur (long bone), patella (flat bone), tibia (long bone) and the fibula (long bone)

The cartilage that is located at the end of long bones that closes when growth ceases is called the plate?
Epiphyseal - Located on each side of the long bone.
Are bones classified according to structure?
long short flat seasmoid irregular

Is the toe an example of a long bone?
No, a toe is made up of several bones, none of them a long bone. Long bones are the bones that connect at your knee and elbow, bones like the femur.
