Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is a cartilaginous structure located at the end of long bones in children. It allows for the diaphysis (shaft) of the bone to continue lengthening until early childhood. Eventually, the epiphyseal plate will ossify and become the epiphyseal line, indicating that growth has stopped.
