Summary Introduction
To review:
The events that signal the end of long bone elongation.
Introduction:
Most of the long bones develop from the cartilaginous model by ossification process. The growth of young bone involves several events. The long bone elongation involves multiplication of the cells present in the epiphyseal plate. The active region of the epiphyseal cartilage is present towards the end of the long bone or epiphysis.
