Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -While bone is replacing cartilage in the diaphysis, cartilage continues to proliferate at the ends of the bone, increasing bone length. These proliferative areas become the epiphyseal plates (physeal plates/growth plates), which provide longitudinal growth of bones after birth and into early adulthood.
Detailed explanation-2: -A band of cartilage called the epiphyseal plate remains between the two ossification centers.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
