I feel like both increase the length of long bones.
Question in the ADA Practice 2009 Test states, "Growth (increased length) of long bones originates in what region?"
I put metaphysis and it is wrong so I am assuming the answer is epiphysis.
Bootcamp Bio test 3 states, "The metaphysis is the wider portion of a long bone situated near the epiphysis, this is where the majority of growth happens during puberty."
Is growth vs increased length different? I am assuming that is why ADA put "increased length" in parentheses.
So...
Metaphysis: growth during puberty
and
Epiphysis: increased length of long bone
??
Help please these questions seem to keep popping up and I would hate to miss this question if it shows up on my test.
