Once The Epiphyseal Plate Fuses And Forms An Epiphyseal Line, The Long Bone Continues To Grow In Length, But At A Slower Rate.. Once growth is complete, the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, and it becomes an epiphyseal line, marking the end of bone growth in length. The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.

The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone. Once the epiphyseal plate fuses and forms an epiphyseal line, the long bone continues to grow in length but at a slower rate, true or false? After the epiphyseal plate fuses, the long bone can no longer grow in length.
