was reading up on how bones grow in kids:
A growth plate is an area at the end of long bones that contains cells (called cartilage cells) that are dividing and maturing to become bone.
if the growth plates provide the bone to grow - does it use up? how does it replenish to keep supplying knew bone? does it get thinner and thinner till they close?

It's made out of cartilage. The cartilage turns into bone.

In each bone there is an ossification center that keeps generating bone until the bone is fully grown. Pretty soon after that the bone already starts it's degeneration. The cells in the ossification center are called osteoblasts and even adults have some of them which is why broken bones can heal.
