Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The five zones in the epiphyseal plate that are responsible for bone growth in length.
Introduction:
Epiphyseal cartilage is responsible for the lengthwise growth of bones in animals and birds. It is composed of gelatinous hyaline cartilage tissue. It is situated between diaphysis and epiphysis. Epiphyseal cartilage is also known as physis or simply a growth plate.
