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.

∙ 12y agoThe epiphysis is the articular end of the bone, such as the ball of the femur that inserts into your pelvic socket. The diaphysis is the main "shaft" of the long bone that contains marrow. In between the diaphysis and the epiphysis at each end is the metaphysis.

∙ 10y agoThe gross apperance of a long bone consists of the ends and the shaft. The ends are called the proximal (close to the body) and distal (furthest) diaphysis. The ends are covered by articular cartilage.
The shaft is called the diaphysis. The ends contain red marrow. This marrow makes red blood cells. The shaft contains yellow marrow which stores fat.
There are coverings: The outer most is called the periosteum (meaning around bone) and the interior called the endosteum (in bone).
Marrow in the shaft is found in the medullary cavity.
