The first two zones have an abundant extracellular
matrix and, consequently, a great deal of mechanical
integrity, particularly in response to shear forces.
The third layer, the hypertrophic zone, contains scant
extracellular matrix and is weaker. On the
metaphyseal side of the hypertrophic zone there is
an area of provisional calcification leading to the
zone of enchondral ossification. The calcification in
these areas provides additional resistance to shear.
Thus, the area of the hypertrophic zone just above
the area of provisional calcification is the weakest
area of the physis, and it is here that most injuries to

It is a wedge-shaped group of germinal cells that is

The zone of Ranvier consists of three cell types—
Osteoblasts form the bony portion of the
perichondral ring at the metaphysis;
chondrocytes contribute to latitudinal growth;
fibroblasts circumscribe the zone and anchor it to
perichondrium above and below the growth plate.
