Cartilage.
A smooth rounded end of the bone is called a condyle.
Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.
The articular cartilage is the thin layer of white tissue covering the bone in the joint space. The articular cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.
The long bone consists of the epiphysis and diaphysis. The epiphysis is the end part of the long bone and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. In the shaft of the long bone, there is yellow bone marrow which stores fat in adults and produces white blood cells. In the end parts of the long bone is red bone marrow which makes red blood cells. On one end of the long bone, where there is the joint, it is covered with smooth cartilage. Surrounding the outer surface of the bone is a tough membrane called periosteum. Just beneath the membrane and above the bone tissue is compact bone tissue.
Epiphysis-The epiphysis is the end of a long bone.
Cartilage
Yes, all compact bones contain both spongy and compact bone tissue. The outer layer of compact bone provides strength and protection, while the inner spongy bone contains bone marrow and provides flexibility.

Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons connect muscle to bone.
The material at the end of bones is called articular cartilage, which has a smooth and slightly rubbery texture. Its primary function is to reduce friction and provide cushioning between bones at the joints to allow for smooth movement.
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).
