Explanation:
b) Hyaline cartilage; They allow for bone growth and eventually fuse
The tissue that fills the joint space in an epiphyseal plate is hyaline cartilage. Epiphyseal plates, also known as growth plates, consist of hyaline cartilage and are found in the metaphysis of long bones. These plates allow for bone growth by enabling the addition of new bone tissue. As a person grows, the cartilage in the epiphyseal plate undergoes ossification, gradually converting into bone tissue. Once this process is complete, the epiphyseal plates fuse, and the bones stop growing in length. Therefore, epiphyseal plates are considered temporary joints due to their role in bone growth and their eventual fusion.
