Morphological, histochemical and ultrastructural investigations on epiphyseal apparatus of Rana Esculenta were made. The most important findings were the following: 1) metaphyseal cartilage is localized inside proximal diaphyseal compact bone as a plug; 2) metaphyseal cartilage do not reduce in thickness during ageing; 3) metaphyseal cartilage do not show vascular invasion and do not mineralize in degenerative zone; 4) trabecular bone was not at all evident in this animal; 5) external periosteum is well vascularized and proliferates in correspondence to marginal epiphyseal end of the diaphyseal. From these results the hypothesis that the ranid frog bone growth is not due to metaphyseal metabolism (as in avian and mammals) but to bone periosteal marginal mineralization is reached.
