What is the difference between epiphysis and diaphysis?
An epiphysis is the end of a long bone (the head) whereas the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. These two sections are connected by what's called the mataphysis (the widening of the bone towards the head).Epiphysis is an expanded portion at the end of the bone. Diaphysis is the shaft of the bone.
What area epiphysis or diaphysis is made up of a thick layer of compact bone and a very thin layer of spongy bone?
diaphysisNo. The epiphysis is the growing part of a boneThe epiphysis is at the end of the bones and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. The diaphysis is the answer to your question.
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 anatomical name for the shaft of a long bone and for its ends?
The shaft of a long bone- diaphysis The head(s) of a long bone- epiphysis
Which part of the bone grows?
Diaphysis if the ossification center and Epiphysis has the growth plate so ...
What is the bones of the head called?
The head of the long bone is called the Epiphyseal.The long bone constists of a diaphysis and an epiphysis. The ends are epiphysis and the shaft is diaphysis.
What is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone called?
Long bones mostly consist of compact bone, but the region that does consist of spongy bone is called the epiphysis. There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis. The region consisting of the compact bone is diaphysis.
What is the relationship between Diaphysis and Epiphysis?

The epiphysis is the end of the long bone whereas the diaphysis is the shaft or body.
What is a ephiphyseal line?
Epiphyseal line is the junction between diaphysis (long part of the bone) and epiphysis (growing end of the bone). This is the region where the growth of bone takes place. Gradually as an individual approaches puberty, the epiphysis fuses with the bone and the growth stops.
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'.
Is the shaft the longest portion of a long bone?
