The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
The membrane around the shaft of a long bone is called a (n) endosteum.
endosteum
No, the shaft of a long bone is the diaphysis, not the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
The Shaft
the endosteum is a thin membrane that lines the internal surface while compact bone forms the outer shell of the bone(the part we see) and shafts in long bones e.g femur
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.

periosteum
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.
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
bone marrow is in the center of the bone shaft

No, the shaft of a long bone is the diaphysis, not the epiphysis.
The main portion or shaft of a long bone is called the diaphysis.
marrow
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
