They grow primarily by elongation of the diaphysis, with an epiphysis at each end of the growing bone. The ends of epiphyses are covered with hyaline cartilage ("articular cartilage"). The longitudinal growth of long bonesis a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate.

Cartilage connective tissue is important because it provides support, but is less rigid than bone. It also allows for some flexibility of movement, but has more stability than muscle. The extracellular matrix of cartilage is produced by cells called chondroblasts.
