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 else can I help you with?
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 region in mature bone where the diaphysis and epiphysis join?
The region in mature bone where the diaphysis and epiphysis join is called the metaphysis. This area contains the growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate, which is responsible for bone growth and development during childhood and adolescence.
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.
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
What is the relationship between Diaphysis and Epiphysis?
The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis
What is the bones of the head called?

What does bone marrow do for the body and where can it be found?
In the bones of the body. Bones have a swollen part on both the ends called epiphysis and in between epiphysis is diaphysis. when a TS is taken through diaphysis a central cavity is seen called marrow cavity which is filled with Yellow bone marrow.
Where is the diaphysis?
is the shaft of any long bone located between epiphyses
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'.
