Human bones grow at the growth plates, known as epiphyseal plates, which are located at the ends of long bones. These plates are areas of cartilage that gradually ossify as a person matures, allowing the bones to lengthen during childhood and adolescence. Once growth plates close after puberty, bone lengthening ceases.
