Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During this process, cartilage cells stop dividing and all of the cartilage is replaced by bone. The epiphyseal plate fades, leaving a structure called the epiphyseal line or epiphyseal remnant, and the epiphysis and diaphysis fuse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Growth plates usually close near the end of puberty. For girls, this usually is when they’re 13–15; for boys, it’s when they’re 15–17.
Detailed explanation-3: -As an individual reaches the end of the overall growth period, caused by increased concentrations of sex steroid hormones during puberty, the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate diminishes and is finally replaced by bone to form the epiphyseal line.
