Question

what is the function of the epiphyseal plate in growing bones?
o to cushion joints
o to allow bones to grow in length
o to store calcium
o to connect muscles to bone

Explanation:

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is a layer of cartilage that allows long - bones to grow in length during childhood and adolescence. It is not for cushioning joints (that's the role of articular cartilage), storing calcium (bones in general do that, not specifically the epiphyseal plate), or connecting muscles to bone (that's the role of tendons).

Answer:

To allow bones to grow in length
