In the epi- physis the spongy bone is also endo- chondral bone, and its formation is con- nected with the deep layer of the articu- lar cartilage. Underneath the periosteum and on the surface of the spongy endochon- dral bone at the extremity of the shaft, the periosteal bone is represented only as a thin layer, extending as far the margin of the.

Intermediary cartilage; 6, zone of calcified cartilage; c, zone, in which the calcified trabeculae of cartilage become gradually in- vested in osseous substance, shaded light in the figure; the spaces between the trabeculae contain marrow, and the capillary blood- vessels are seen here to end in loops; d, in this zone there is more bone formed : the greater amount the farther away from this zone.
