What area of the long bone is covered with cartilage?
end of epiphyses
Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
epiphyses
Where in long bone is spongy bone located?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.
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 found at the ends of long bones?
adipose tissue and epiphyses

Where in long bone is spongy bone located?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.
Why are epiphyses covered in articular cartilage?
Because that is where it comes into contact with other bones and provides a low friction protective covering allowing for smooth painless movement of joints of the bones.
What has the author R S Paterson written?
R. S. Paterson has written: 'A radiological investigation of the epiphyses of the long bones' -- subject(s): Bones, Radiology, Epiphysis
What is the correct spelling epiphyseal or epiphysial?
Either is correct because one is formed from the singular (epiphysis) and the other from the plural (epiphyses). The word "epiphyseal" or "epiphysial" is a medical reference to the ends of long bones, which are epiphyses (growth plates).
What is the type of bones?
The femur bone is a typed as a Long bones - these are the bones connected with large movement. They are long and cylindrincal with growth heads - epiphyses at either end. The epiphysis is covered by articular cartilage. The outer layer of the bone is hard, and is called "compact bone". The inside of the bone is spongy, called "cancellous bone". Examples of long bones include the femur (thigh bone), the humerus (upper bone in the arm) and the phalanges (fingers and toes).
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 rounded end of the bone called?
Epiphyses is the word used for the distal and proximal ends of long bones. The epiphysis contains red bone marrow.
Why is articular cartilage only found at the epiphysis?
Because epiphyses are covered by articular cartilage
