Compact bone is dense and solid in appearance and cancellous bone is characterized by open space partially filled with needle-like structures. Compact bone is found in the main shaft of long bones called the diaphysis. Its' function is to provide strong support without cumbersome weight.

Where is diaphysis found?
The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
What is the histology of spongy bone?
Spongy bone is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones; compact bone is the tissue that forms the surface of bones. In long bones, spongy bone forms the interior of the epiphyses; the diaphysis (shaft) consists of compact bone surrounding the central marrow cavity. Spongy bone can also be found in the rib slide (21). It contains large marrow spaces defined by shelves and spicules of bone. The inner space is lined by osteoblasts and osteoclasts (called the endosteum). Osteocytes can be seen in layers in adult spongy bone. Outside all of bone, is a connective tissue sheath called the periosteum. It contains inner layers of osteogenic cells that can give rise to osteoblasts and make new bone,.
What is the growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
Does articular cartilage cover the diaphysis on the long bone?
no it is false
Is the shaft the longest portion of a long bone?
No, the shaft of a long bone is the diaphysis, not the epiphysis.
Is compact bone located in the diaphysis or the epiphyses?
Compact bone is dense and solid in appearance and cancellous bone is characterized by open space partially filled with needle-like structures. Compact bone is found in the main shaft of long bones called the diaphysis. Its' function is to provide strong support without cumbersome weight.
Why do people have spongy bone and compact bone?
Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions. Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels. Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
Where is the diaphysis?
is the shaft of any long bone located between epiphyses
What is the region in mature bone where the diaphysis and epiphysis join?
metaphyses are the regions in a mature bone where the diaphysis joins the epiphyses. in a growing bone each metaphysis includes a epiphyseal plate
What is the scientific term for bone shaft?
The shaft of the bone, between the epiphyses, is called the diaphysis. It has a hollow central medullary cavity containing marrow.The shaft of long bones is called DIAPHYSIS
What is the location of compact bone in an adult's bone?
Diaphysis
The ends of the long bone are called?
Epiphyses. (Diaphysis is the middle part). You might also be asking the name of the knobby parts on the ends, which articulate with the next bone and make up the joint: those are 'condyles'.
What is the diaphysis of a long bone made of?
Diaphysis is the shaft of long bones. It is located between both Metaphyses and consists of compact bonewalls and an inner cavity.
Where is diaphysis found?
The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
What is the growing end of a bone called?
In the long bones of children it is called an epiphysial growth plate which is a layer of hyaline cartilage located in the metaphysis which is between the epiphysis (the end of the bone) and diaphysis (the middle of the bone/shaft of the bone).
Where in long bone is spongy bone located?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.
What type of bone makes up the majority of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus?
The type of bone that makes up the majority of the diaphysis of a long bone such as the humerus is compact bone. The diaphysis is the shaft of the bone that contains bone marrow and adipose tissue.
