The metaphysis (pl.: metaphyses) is the neck portion of a long bone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. [1] It contains the growth plate , the part of the bone that grows during childhood, and as it grows it ossifies near the diaphysis and the epiphyses.
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).
Metaphysics is the study of the most general features of reality, including existence, objects and their properties, possibility and necessity, space and time, change, causation, and the relation between matter and mind.
The epiphyseal line serves no function in the bone, being purely vestigial. However, it serves as an indicator of the boundary between the epiphysis and diaphysis. However, it serves as an indicator of the boundary between the epiphysis and diaphysis.
[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 ...
The outer shell of the long bone is made of cortical bone also known as compact bone. [1] This is covered by a membrane of connective tissue called the periosteum.Beneath the cortical bone layer is a layer of spongy cancellous bone.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to metaphysics: . Metaphysics – traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it, [1] although the term is not easily defined. [2]
An ossification center is a point where ossification of the hyaline cartilage begins. The first step in ossification is that the chondrocytes at this point become hypertrophic and arrange themselves in rows.
