Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.

The long bone, along with all bones, is covered by the periosteum. The inner shaft, or medullary cavity, is surrounded by the endosteum.
