Respuesta :
The correct answer is calcification zone.
A hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each terminal of a long bone is known as the epiphyseal plate or the growth plate. It is the section of a long bone where the development of new bone occurs.
The epiphyseal plate exhibits a very specific morphology in possessing a zonal arrangement. One of the zones is the zone of calcification, in this, chondrocytes goes through the process of apoptosis and cartilaginous matrix starts to calcify.
Answer;
Calcification zone
Explanation;
The epiphyseal plate is the area of growth in a long bone. It is a layer of hyaline cartilage where ossification occurs in immature bones. On the epiphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate, cartilage is formed.
There are 4 zones of cartilage cells within epiphyseal plate. Beginning from the epiphysis side:
- Proliferation (growth) zone
- Hypertrophic Zone
- Calcification Zone
- Ossification (osteogenic) zone
Calcification zone is the zone surrounding cartilage matrix calcifies, chondrocytes die and deteriorate.
