8.1 Growing long bone

Version française

Drawing of a section of growing long bone to show the distribution of the typical calcified bone tissue (solid black) and of cartilage (grey).

In this growing bone, the calcified tissue forms the compact wall of the diaphysis around the bone marrow cavity as well as part of the spicules of the metaphysis.

The hyaline cartilage forms the core of the spicules of the metaphysis and the epiphyseal plate as well as the periphery of the epiphysis.
