An epiphyseal line on a bone indicates what?
- A . The bone has begun a new growth phase.
- B . The bone was previously fractured in that location.
- C . The bone has stopped growing.
- D . The bone has reached its adult length.
C
Explanation:
The epiphyseal line appears on a bone when the growth plate, or epiphyseal plate, has ceased to function – meaning that the bone has stopped growing in length. During childhood and adolescence, the bones grow at the epiphyseal plate. As a person reaches adulthood, the growth plates close and become epiphyseal lines, signaling that the bone has stopped growing. So, while option D, "the bone has reached its adult length," might also seem correct, it is more directly associated with the completion of growth, which is represented more accurately by option C.
