Why is it that cartilage cells proliferate at the growth plate or epiphyseal plate but this layer does not get thicker over time?

because they are doing health sci first year glm instead of building new cartilage

The area of a long bone where growth in bone length occurs is the?
The Epiphyseal or Growth Plate!
How is the epiphysis forced farther from the shaft during the growth of a long bone?
The chondrocytes of the epiphyseal cartilage enlarge and divide, which increases the thickness of the cartilage. On the shaft side, the chondrocytes become ossified, and "chase" the expanding epiphyseal cartilage away from the shaft.
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.
Growth plate in the juvenile long bone is?
cartilaginous, and epiphyseal disk. or A,1
Compare and contrast events occurring on the epiphyseal and diaphyseal faces?
The cartilage cells at the epiphyseal side are continuing to grow and divide mitotically, while the ones on the diaphyseal side are aging, dying and then osteoblasts move in to form bone. See this site for more detail and nice diagrams: http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_a… -JSO
Will a deficiency of growth hormone cause a decrease proliferation of the epiphyseal plate cartilage?
growth hormone
The thin band of cartilage where bone growth occur is called the what?
Epiphyseal plate
The area of a long bone where growth in bone length occurs is the?
The Epiphyseal or Growth Plate!
What is a feature of bones that are still increasing in length?
Growth of new cartilage in the epiphyseal plate

What will a deficiency in growth hormone cause?
In bone formation, a deficiency of growth hormone will cause DECREASED PROLIFERATION OF THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE CARTILAGE.

cartilaginous, and epiphyseal disk. or A,1
Difference between epiphyseal plate and epiphyseal line?
Cartilage plate that servs as a growth area along the bone lenghing, it allows the dialysis of the bone to increase in length until early adulthood. When growth stops the epiphyseal plate is replaced with bone, then becoming the epiphseal line.

In the epiphyseal plate cartilage grows?
the epiphyseal plate is also called the growth plate. it is the area of cartilage between the diaphysis (the long shaft of the bone) and the epiphysis (the end of a bone). the cartilage will expand and go through a process called ossification and turn into bone. when a person is done growing the epiphyseal plate will turn into an epiphyseal line.
Why epiphyseal closes early?
estrogen directly causes the epiphyseal plates to close, testosterone is converted to estradiol (estrogen) by aromatase, therefore testosterone causes the epiphyseal plates to close indirectly
