The end of any bone in the body is called the "epiphysis." Bones typically have two epiphyses—one at each end—where they articulate with other bones at joints. The epiphysis is composed of spongy bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone and is involved in the formation of joints and the development of bone growth.
