Yes, from inside. But from outside it is composed of compact bone. Clavicle being an exception in that is has no cancellous 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.
What is the gross anatomy of a long bone?
The major anatomical areas of a long bone are: The Diaphysis - The long, slender shaft of the bone that is composed of compact bone and houses the medullary cavity. The Epiphysis - The ends of the bone that are composed of spongy bone. This area is also the location of the growth plates.
Why do people have spongy bone and compact bone?
Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions. Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels. Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
What type of bone makes up the majority of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus?
The type of bone that makes up the majority of the diaphysis of a long bone such as the humerus is compact bone. The diaphysis is the shaft of the bone that contains bone marrow and adipose tissue.
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 is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone is called?
Diaphysis
Where is diaphysis found?
The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
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.

Where is bone deposited first in the long bone?
Diaphysis

The type of bone that makes up the majority of the diaphysis of a long bone such as the humerus is compact bone. The diaphysis is the shaft of the bone that contains bone marrow and adipose tissue.
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.

In relationship to the diaphysis of a long bone the osteons are?
Parallel
Is the shaft the longest portion of a long bone?
No, the shaft of a long bone is the diaphysis, not the epiphysis.
