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.


Which region of a growing bone contains a epiphyseal plate?

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is located in the region of the growing bone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. It is found in the metaphysis of long bones and is responsible for the longitudinal growth of the bone during childhood and adolescence. As an individual matures, the epiphyseal plate eventually calcifies and is replaced by bone, leading to the cessation of growth in length.
