The cartilage at the end of a long bone is articular cartilage. The end of the humerus is the humeral head. The entire region of a long bones end is the epiphysis and occurs at both ends.
The scientific term for bone end is "epiphysis." This is the rounded end of a long bone that forms a joint with another bone.
Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons connect muscle to bone.
The medical term for the end region of a long bone is the epiphysis. It is responsible for bone growth and connects to the shaft of the bone through the metaphysis.
The term for the end of a bone closest to the midline of the body is called the "proximal end."
Epiphysis
Medial
The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.
Hinge joints include a cylindrical bone end that fits into a groove, called a trochlea, on the other bone. One example is your elbow.
The epiphysis is the end of the long bone whereas the diaphysis is the shaft or body.
The term length is used to describe the measured distance from one end to another.
