That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Bone growth takes place at the epiphyseal plate. The epiphyseal plate is a layer of cartilage located at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents. It is responsible for the lengthening of bones during the growth process. The plate contains specialized cells called chondrocytes that divide and multiply, leading to the production of new cartilage. As the cartilage cells mature, they are replaced by bone cells, resulting in bone growth. Once the growth process is complete, the epiphyseal plate closes and is replaced by solid bone.
