<P> The epiphyseal plate ( or epiphysial plate , physis , or growth plate ) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone . It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place ; that is , the whole bone is alive , with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue , but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer ( adds length ) . </P>
