In those who are not fully adult, growth plates are located on the ends of long bones. On the arm, the growth plate is located on the end of the humerus near the elbow.
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.

The thin band of cartilage where bone growth occurs is called the epiphyseal plate. This plate is responsible for lengthening bones during the growth phase in children and adolescents. Once growth is complete, the plate ossifies and is replaced by solid bone.
There are a number of materials that are found in the growth plate which is also referred to as physis. The main materials are fats and cartilage.
The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate, is the site for longitudinal growth in a child. It is a cartilage region at the ends of long bones where bone growth occurs, allowing bones to elongate during childhood and adolescence. Once growth is complete, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.
The growth plate of a long bone is located at the end of the bone, near the joint. It is also known as the epiphyseal plate and is responsible for longitudinal growth during childhood and adolescence.
