Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Articular cartilage is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the articular surfaces of bones and persists for life. This cartilage helps to reduce friction and absorb shock between bones in joints. The other structures listed (primary ossification center, epiphyseal plate, primary bone) are all involved in bone growth and development, but they eventually disappear or are replaced by other structures as the bone reaches maturity.
