No, that is not true. The diaphysis refers to the main or central shaft of a long bone, while the ends of the bones are called epiphyses. The diaphysis is primarily composed of compact bone and contains the medullary cavity, whereas the epiphyses are typically spongy bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone and are involved in joint formation.

What protects the ends of bones from wear and tear?
cartilage protects the bones where they meet.
Which tissues covers the ends of the bones at the joint?
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
What material cushions the ends of bones?
