Epiphyseal plate
text:
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. The plate is only found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal
