Chapter 6, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The epiphyseal plates or growth plates are the dividing cartilages that are responsible for the growth of the bone. They are located farthest from the center or the shaft of the bone. The growth of the bones takes place in the terminal region of the bones.
