What is the structural and function feature of the epiphysis?
Epiphysis are found at both ends of a long bone. They are made of cancellous bone filled with marrow. They have a bulbous shape and function to provide attachments for muscles and give stability to joints.
What is the function of the cartilages found at the joint?
The cartilages at the ends of bones act as a soft pliable cushion between the bones that form the joint. Bone on bone movement is very painful.
What made up the ends of the bone?
Long bones have spongy bone at the ends, more properly known as cancellous or trabecular bone.
Smooth tissue of bone ends?
Spongy bone
What are the functions of the two type of bone tissue?
Two types of bone tissue are compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone functions as the basic supporting tissue of the body. Spongy bone's function , meanwhile, is to make up most of the short, flat, and irregular bones in your body. It also makes up the ends of long bones.
What is the incorrect alignment of bone ends called?
The incorrect alignment of bone ends is called a "malalignment." This can happen as a result of a bone fracture or dislocation, where the bone ends do not meet or align properly. Treatment may involve realignment through manual manipulation or surgery.
Where is spongy bone located in the bone?
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
What is the anatomical name for the shaft of a long bone and for its ends?
The shaft of a long bone- diaphysis The head(s) of a long bone- epiphysis
What is the central shaft of the long bone?
The central shaft of a long bone is known as the diaphysis. It is primarily composed of compact bone, providing strength and support, while containing the medullary cavity, which houses bone marrow. The diaphysis connects the two ends of the bone, called the epiphyses, and plays a crucial role in the overall structure and function of long bones.
Hematopoeisis is the function of what?
It is the function of bone marrow.
Is the bone marrow located in the epiphysis?
No. The bone marrow is mostly encased within the shaft or inside the bone. The epiphyses are at the ends of a bone.

Compound.
