Question

The ______is composed of hyaline cartilage and allows the diaphysis to grow in length.
A)periosteum
B)distal epiphysis
C)epiphyseal line
D)articular cartilage
E)epiphyseal plate

Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate is composed of hyaline cartilage and is responsible for growth in bone length during development. As a person reaches adulthood, the epiphyseal plate is replaced by the epiphyseal line, which is a bony structure. The periosteum is a layer of connective tissue that covers the outer surface of bones. The distal epiphysis is the end of a long bone, while the articular cartilage covers the surface of joints.
