GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Growth in height is driven by elongation of long bones due to chondrogenesis at the epiphyseal plates, also known as the growth plate. This process results from chondrocyte proliferation, hypertrophy, and extracellular matrix secretion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate is a thin layer of cartilage that lies between the epiphyses and metaphyses, and is where the growth of long bones takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Long bones continue to lengthen (potentially throughout adolescence) through the addition of bone tissue at the epiphyseal plate. They also increase in width through appositional growth.
