Answer:

grow longer

Step-by-step explanation:

In a long bone, the epiphyseal is the growing region. In young bones, bone formation occurs in a layer of hyaline cartilage. The epiphyseal plate forms cartilage on the epiphyseal end. Cartilage is calcified on the diaphyseal side, and the diaphysis lengthens.
