8.28 Epiphyseal plate

Version française

A mixed spicule from the underlying aspect of an epiphyseal plate.

On one side of the spicule is a layer of osteoblasts lining the newly formed bone. Osteocytes, which derive from osteoblasts, are seen at various stages of incorporation into their respective lacunae.

A small amount of calcified cartilage is visible in the core of the spicule.

Cells of the bone marrow are indicated.
