What is the function of the epiphyseal plate in long bone growth?
What is the function of the epiphyseal plate in long bone growth?
- It allows bone growth up to adult length/full maturation (correct)
- It facilitates the formation of the bone marrow cavity
- It prevents further bone growth after reaching adult length
- It acts as a barrier to separate the diaphysis from the epiphysis
Which process leads to the formation of the bone collar?
Which process leads to the formation of the bone collar?
- Intracartilaginous ossification
- Intramembranous ossification within the periosteum (correct)
- Calcification of the epiphyseal plate
- Endochondral ossification
What is the role of the primary ossification centre (diaphysis) during bone development?
What is the role of the primary ossification centre (diaphysis) during bone development?
- It allows for diametric growth of the bone
- It results in the replacement of cartilage by bone in the middle of the shaft (correct)
- It facilitates the formation of the bone marrow cavity
- It initiates bone formation at the ends of the cartilage
