Which region of a growing bone contains a epiphyseal plate?

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is located in the region of the growing bone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. It is found in the metaphysis of long bones and is responsible for the longitudinal growth of the bone during childhood and adolescence. As an individual matures, the epiphyseal plate eventually calcifies and is replaced by bone, leading to the cessation of growth in length.
