Which region of a growing bone contains the epiphyseal plate?
A. Proximal epiphysis
B. Periphysis
C. Metaphysis
D. Distal epiphysis
E. Diaphysis
Answer (2)
The epiphyseal plate is found in the metaphysis of a growing bone, situated between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. This plate is responsible for bone lengthening during growth through various zones of cartilage cell activity. It eventually closes when growth is complete, marking the end of bone lengthening. ;
The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis of a growing bone, which is the area between the epiphysis and diaphysis. This plate is crucial for bone lengthening and consists of several zones crucial for growth. Eventually, the epiphyseal plate closes as growth is completed, marking the end of the lengthening process.
