Question

the region known as the epiphyseal plate is the area where_______. answer secondary ossification centers are located collagen fibers become cemented into lamellae by osteoblasts cartilage is not replaced by bone until after puberty the epiphysis begins to calcify by birth i dont know yet

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The epiphyseal plate is a cartilaginous area between the epiphysis and diaphysis of long - bones. Cartilage in the epiphyseal plate is gradually replaced by bone during growth, but this process continues until after puberty. Secondary ossification centers are in the epiphysis, not the plate. Osteoblasts cement collagen into lamellae in bone matrix formation in general, not specific to the plate. And the epiphysis calcification is not related to the function of the epiphyseal plate.

Answer:

cartilage is not replaced by bone until after puberty
