Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Bone growth in long bones occurs at the growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates. These are cartilage plates located at the ends of long bones where new bone is formed as cartilage cells proliferate and get replaced by bone tissue. This process allows bones to lengthen during growth.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
The layer you are referring to is the epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate. It is found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents, allowing the bone to lengthen as the cartilage cells multiply and are replaced by new bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the epiphyseal plate ossifies and becomes the epiphyseal line.
What tissue type is the epiphyseal plate composed?
Cartilage druing youth, then they fuse together after adolescence. Sources: I have an A in physiology:)
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
Where within the epiphyseal plate is the dividing cartilage cells located?
The dividing cartilage cells are located in the zone of proliferation within the epiphyseal plate. This zone is where chondrocytes actively divide and contribute to bone growth.
The cartilage that is located at the end of long bones that closes when growth ceases is called the plate?
The cartilage at the end of long bones that closes when growth stops is known as the growth plate or epiphyseal plate. It is responsible for longitudinal bone growth during childhood and adolescence by ossifying to form solid bone.
