Cartilage ______ the ________ of the _______ organizes into a pattern that allow fast efficient growth
Abutting, Shaft, Bone
Cells of the epiphyseal plate proximal to the resting cartilage form these three functionally different zones
-Growth
-Transformation
-Osteogenic
Describe the functional zone in long bone growth "Growth Zone"
Cartilage cell undergo mitosis, pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis
Describe this functional zone in long bone growth "Transformation Zone"
