The white covering of the epiphysis is formed by the 'articular cartilage'.

Explicación

## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the type of cell that forms the white covering of the epiphysis. The epiphysis is the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.## Step 2The options provided are osteoclast, osteocyte, and articular cartilage. ## Step 3Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue, osteocytes are cells that maintain bone tissue, and articular cartilage is a type of connective tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints.## Step 4The white covering of the epiphysis is formed by the articular cartilage. This cartilage is a type of connective tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, providing a smooth, lubricated surface for articulation and serving as a cushion between bones.
