Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 10RQ
The epiphyseal plate:
- is arranged as rods or plates
- contains the bone’s blood vessels and nerve fibers

The epiphyseal plate
Is composed of elastic cartilage
Resides in the ephiphysis of mature bone
Consists of 4 zones of chodrocytes
Increases in thickness with age
The breakdown of bone matrix
is performed by osteoblasts
requires the deposition of mineral salts by osteocytes
removes minerals and proteins from the blood
elevates blood calcium levels and is called bone resorption
