The term "epiphysis" refers to the end part of a long bone, which can take twice as long to develop compared to the diaphysis, the shaft or central part of the bone. This difference in growth duration is due to the epiphyseal plates, where bone growth occurs, remaining active for a longer period during skeletal development. Consequently, the epiphysis often continues to grow and mature after the diaphysis has completed its primary growth phase.

What is the diaphysis of a long bone made of?
Diaphysis is the shaft of long bones. It is located between both Metaphyses and consists of compact bonewalls and an inner cavity.
What is the bones of the head called?
The head of the long bone is called the Epiphyseal.The long bone constists of a diaphysis and an epiphysis. The ends are epiphysis and the shaft is diaphysis.
Why is a year on Mars twice as long as a year Earth?

Where is bone deposited first in the long bone?
Diaphysis
Is the shaft the longest portion 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.
What is the difference between epiphysis and diaphysis?
An epiphysis is the end of a long bone (the head) whereas the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. These two sections are connected by what's called the mataphysis (the widening of the bone towards the head).Epiphysis is an expanded portion at the end of the bone. Diaphysis is the shaft of the 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 primary center for endochondral ossification or long bones?
diaphysis
Are articular cartilage covers the diaphysis of long bones?
False. They are not.
Why is a year on mars twice as long as a year on earth?
The years are twice as long because it is farther from the sun and takes longer to circle it.
What is the main function of Diaphysis?
The main function of the diaphysis is to provide structural support and protection to the long bone. It also serves as a site for muscle attachment and helps in the transmission of forces during movement.
