About Growth Plates. All long bones have an area called the epiphysis, which is the rounded end of the bone. The long, middle part (or shaft) of the bone is the diaphysis; the area where the bone gets wider at its end is the metaphysis. In growing kids, growth plates sit between the metaphysis and the epiphysis. Growth plates are at the end of long bones, and grow in length. They're made up of cartilage, a rubbery, flexible material (the nose, for instance, is made of cartilage).
In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
LAN and WAN ports are two important types of ports. These two ports can be easily found in the back of the routers. A LAN port is used to connect the computers and other client machines. On the other hand, a WAN port is wired to an external network like the Internet. A LAN port is also known as an Ethernet port, network connection and network port. A LAN port allows a computer to get connected with the network by using a wired connection.
