epiphysis
The physes, also called the growth plates, are the cartilaginous areas in the ends of long bones that produce longitudinal growth prior to their closure at the end of adolescence.
The cartilage at the end of long bones that closes when growth stops is known as the growth plate or epiphyseal plate. It is responsible for longitudinal bone growth during childhood and adolescence by ossifying to form solid bone.
Epiphyseal plate, located on the end of long bones.
The spongy bone is the type of bone that you will find at the expansion of longer bones. This helps to fill the irregular spots in bones to make them complete.
Growth plates at the end of the bones
Long bones are located in the arms and legs of the body. Examples of long bones include the femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, radius, and ulna. These bones contribute to the structure and overall function of the skeletal system.
The distal end of a long bone is the end farthest from the center of the body, while the proximal end is the end closest to the body's center. These ends are important for articulating with other bones and facilitating movement at joints.
These bones are located in the wrist. Metatarsals are located towards the ankle
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.
The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm. The styloid process is at the distal end of the radius and then the carpals of the hand. The elbow is located at the other end of the radius.
Bones classified into four groups. Long bones,Short bones,Flat bones, and Irregular bones
In the medullary cavity of long bones.
