Growing part of a long bone, consisting of the epiphysial cartilage plate united with the diaphysis by columns of trabecular bone.
Is the portion of a long bone between the epiphyses and the diaphysis of the femur.
The end of the central section of a long bone, where the bone grows and where it joins the epiphysis.
Metaphyses, growing portion of a long bone, between the diaphysis (shaft) and epiphyses (ends).
Portion of a bone where growth occurs, situated between the diaphysis and epiphysis.
The end part of the long arm or leg bone, which contains the growth plate and is composed primarily of cartilage during bone development in children. If a fracture occurs in this area during childhood, complications with proper bone growth can occur.

The portion of a developing long bone between the diaphysis, or shaft, and the epiphysis; the growing portion of a bone.
The section of an elongated bone responsible for generating fresh tissue to extend the bone as part of regular childhood development. Found between the bone shaft (diaphysis) and the bone end (epiphysis), this region is known as the metaphysis. In youngsters, it comprises spongy bone, while in adults, it solidifies and merges with the epiphysis.
The developing tip of a bone located between the epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone.
