The fourth answer to this question is correct, which states No further increase in bone length occurs. Before the closure, it starts with an epiphyseal plate. This is a cartilage plate at the end of a long bone. Growth appears at the end of this long bone. It grows longer by adding length. It is found in everyone, both children and adults.
When adults stop growing, an epiphyseal line replaces the plate. This replacement is called the epiphyseal closure. For girls, this line appears typically between the ages of 12 and 16. In boys, it appears between the ages of 14-19.
