Site of many congenital or nutritional bone diseases in the growing animal
Open in neonates and growing animals
- Chondrocyte proliferation balances cell maturation and death
Closes and ossifies at maturity
- Regulated by androgens
If growth teporarily stops -> layer of bone seals the growth plate -> moves into metaphysis when growth resumes -> forms Harris lines

+===Changes to normal structure===
+**Damage to periosteum:
+***Invokes a hyperplastic reaction of the inner layer
+***Is painful
+***Exostoses can remodel or remain
+**Lifting of periosteum causes new bone formation below
+**Circumferential incision (e.g. during [[Bones - fractures|fracture]])
+***Longitudinal bone growth results
+***May be only on one side where periosteum is damaged
+****Used by surgeons to treat [[Bones - developmental#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformities]]
