Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The zone of proliferation is the layer closest to the diaphysis where chondrocytes are actively dividing and creating new cartilage cells. These cells are housed in lacunae, small spaces within the matrix. The other zones are the zone of reserve cartilage, which contains inactive chondrocytes, the zone of hypertrophy, where chondrocytes enlarge and begin to die off, and the zone of ossification, where new bone tissue is formed.
