  2. Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate

    The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).

  3. Epiphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphysis

    [3] [4] Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate). During formation of the secondary ossification center, vascular canals (epiphysial canals) stemming from the perichondrium invade the epiphysis, supplying nutrients to the developing secondary ...

  4. Metaphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysis

    The metaphysis may be divided anatomically into three components based on tissue content: a cartilaginous component (epiphyseal plate), a bony component (metaphysis) and a fibrous component surrounding the periphery of the plate. The growth plate synchronizes chondrogenesis with osteogenesis or interstitial cartilage growth with both ...

  5. Long bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_bone

    The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate. Bone growth in length is stimulated by the production of growth hormone (GH), a secretion of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

  6. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    Epiphyseal growth plate: This transverse layer lies between the epiphysis and diaphysis. It’s composed of highly active chondrocytes and responsible for longitudinal bone growth. Consequently, the bone elongates at this growth plate until closure occurs at skeletal maturity.

  7. Ossification center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification_center

    At the end of the formation of the secondary ossification center, the only two areas where the cartilage remains is at the articular cartilage covering the epiphysis and at the epiphyseal plate between the epiphysis and diaphysis. [3] A schematic for long bone endochondral ossification: [4]

  9. Epiphyseal line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_line

    An epiphyseal line is an epiphyseal plate that has become ossified. [1] The process of it forming from an epiphyseal plate is named epiphyseal closure . [ 2 ] In adult humans, it marks the point of fusion between the epiphysis and the metaphysis .
