Inside the metaphysis, we have a special region known as our Epiphysical plate. Now, the Epiphysical plate is basically the region where in children as well as young adults, that's where our bone grows and elongates and basically increases in length. So this plate is found in our metaphysis section of our long bone. Now, once our organism, once our human basically becomes a full adult, when they reach the age of 25, this plate essentially stops growing and the Epiphysical plate turns into our Epiphysical line. That means it stops growing. Now let's move on to this long section that actually consists of our curved shaft.
