E)Epiphyseal plate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate is the area where bone longitudinal growth takes place.

Answer: D
 Chondrocytes are cartilage cells that play a role in bone growth, particularly in the formation and maintenance of the epiphyseal plate.

Answer: C
 The epiphyseal line is the remnant of the epiphyseal plate after bone growth ceases. It does not contribute to bone growth.

Answers A and B are not correct, as intramembranous ossification is a process by which flat bones (such as the skull) form, and appositional growth involves the addition of bone tissue to the outer surface of bone, resulting in an increase in bone diameter.
