The '''epiphyseal growth plate (EPG)''' allows the [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Types of Bone|bone]] to continue to grow in length after birth. The EPG is a region of continuous chondroblast differentiation and maturation and can be divided into five zones:
The '''epiphyseal growth plate (EGP)''' allows the [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Types of Bone|bone]] to continue to grow in length after birth. The EPG is a region of continuous chondroblast differentiation and maturation and can be divided into five zones:
# '''Germinal Zone''' - chondroblast division at a low rate, and self renewal.
