Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate is a cartilage plate located at the end of long bones in children that allows for growth in length until the end of puberty. Once growth is complete, the epiphyseal plate is replaced by the epiphyseal line. The Haversian system refers to the microscopic structure of compact bone, and lacunae are small spaces within bone tissue that house bone cells called osteocytes. Therefore, neither B nor D are correct choices.
