In anatomy, "plates" typically refer to flat, thin structures or layers that can be part of bones, tissues, or organs. For example, the term is often used in the context of cranial plates, which are the flat bones that form the skull, or in reference to growth plates in long bones, where new bone tissue is formed during development. Plates can also describe certain anatomical structures in organs, such as the plates of the liver. Overall, they play essential roles in providing structure and function within the body.
