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.
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.
Long bones have spongy bone at the ends, more properly known as cancellous or trabecular bone.
Spongy bone
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.
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.
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
