Where is spongy bone located in the bone?
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
Where is the distal epiphysis?
The distal epiphysis is the end of a long bone that is farthest from the center of the body, like the end of the femur near the knee joint. It is covered with articular cartilage and plays a role in joint formation and movement.
Where is the diaphysis?
is the shaft of any long bone located between epiphyses

What is located at the end of the long bones?
epiphysis
What is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone called?
