EPIPHYSEAL PLATE – 8
In the Zone of ossification of the epiphyseal cartilage the image presents recently produced bone over calcified cartilage extracellular matrix .
The center of each plate is calcified cartilage extracellular matrix (highlighted in blue).
Highlighted in red are layers of bone extracellular matrix secreted by osteoblasts that settled over the cartilage matrix.
Osteoblasts placed over the bone matrix are highlighted in yellow.
Two osteocytes (highlighted in green) are present inside the bone extracellular matrix.
A blood capillary is present between two plates of bone matrix.
