What happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
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.
Where is the region of growth in a bone?
In the epiphyseal plate.
What is the growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?
If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.
Can the epiphyseal plate be seen in both the external and cutaway views of an adult long bone?
No, the epiphyseal plate is only visible in the cutaway view of a long bone in an adult. In the external view of an adult long bone, the epiphyseal plate has ossified and is no longer visible since it has become the epiphyseal line.
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.
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.
Where does elongation of bone occurs?
it occurs at the epiphyseal plate
What is the tip of long bone called?
Epiphyseal plate.
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.
It is epiphysis line growth plate remnant?
to make this question a little clearer:"once the long bone has stopped growing, these areas are replaced with bone and appear as thin, barely discernible remnants- the epiphyseal lines"
