The region of a long bone between the end and the shaft is known as the metaphysis. This area is important for bone growth and development.
No, the shaft is not the longest portion of a long bone. The shaft is the main middle part of the bone, also known as the diaphysis. The long bones have a shaft (diaphysis), and two ends (epiphyses) that may be longer in length compared to the shaft.

The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
The main portion or shaft of a long bone is called the diaphysis.
The central shaft of a long bone is known as the diaphysis. It is primarily composed of compact bone, providing strength and support, while containing the medullary cavity, which houses bone marrow. The diaphysis connects the two ends of the bone, called the epiphyses, and plays a crucial role in the overall structure and function of long bones.
