Figure 23 Epiphyseal plate of a long bone

Key to Figure 23:

1 = primary ossification centre
2 = secondary ossification centre
r = zone of reserve
p = zone of proliferation
h = zone of hypertrophy
c = zone of calcified cartilage
b = bone (pink) on calcified cartilage
ca = calcified cartilage (purple) inside bone spicule
m = marrow spaces (appears dotted)
