medullary cavity
The shaft of the bone, between the epiphyses, is called the diaphysis. It has a hollow central medullary cavity containing marrow.The shaft of long bones is called DIAPHYSIS
Diaphysis is the shaft of long bones. It is located between both Metaphyses and consists of compact bonewalls and an inner cavity.
No - they contain marrow
Yes, phalanges and metacarpals are both considered long bones. Long bones are typically found in the limbs and are longer than they are wide, with a shaft and two ends. Phalanges are found in the fingers and toes, while metacarpals are located in the hand.
Yellow marrow is located in long or short bones. Yellow bone marrow is found in the hollow interior of the middle portion of the bones. During severe blood loss, the body can convert yellow marrow to red marrow.Yellow marrow is found in the hollow interior of the diaphyseal portion or the shaft of long bones. By the time a person reaches old age, nearly all of the red marrow is replaced by yellow marrow. However, the yellow marrow can revert to red if there is increased demand for red blood cells, such as in instances of blood loss.
Birds have hollow bones that make them lighter so they can fly more easily.
In general, a shaft is a long, slender rod or similar object. In engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element used to transmit power. In anatomy, a shaft refers to the middle part of a long bone.
No, the shaft is not the longest portion of a long bone. The shaft is the main middle part of the bone, also known as the diaphysis. The long bones have a shaft (diaphysis), and two ends (epiphyses) that may be longer in length compared to the shaft.
Diaphysis means the shaft of a long bone. Thus, it would probably be: diaphyseal arteries and veins
Long bones are longer than they are wide. They are composed mainly of compact bone and typically have a long shaft and heads at both ends of the bone.
they oth have long hollow tubes like bones.
The major bones of the arms are the humerus, radius, and the ulna. These are long bones that have tubular shaft and articular surface at each end.
