Both of them, the compact (cortical) and spongy (trabeculate) bones, localted in the epiphysis. There is outer compact bone like a sheath with an inner spongy bone core. This design helps in dispersion of force at joints.

What is at the end of bones?

In the epiphysis, or end of the bone, is spongy bone which contains red bone marrow. On the external part of the epiphysis is articular or hyaline cartilage.


Bone found in the epiphysis of the bone?

The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, and it contains spongy bone tissue that provides structural support and helps in shock absorption. The epiphysis also plays a role in bone growth and development by containing red bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells.


What makes up the interior of the epiphysis of the long bone?

Cancellous or spongy bone.


Where is spongy bone located in the bone?

What is the name of the end of any bone in the body?

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.

What is the name of the sight where the spongy bone is located in the adult?

The spongy bone in adults is located in the epiphyses of long bones, as well as in the interior of flat bones such as the sternum, ribs, and skull. This spongy bone is also referred to as trabecular or cancellous bone, and it provides structural support and flexibility to bones.


Is the diaphysis of a long bone composed of a spongy bone?

No, the diaphysis of a long bone is primarily composed of compact bone, not spongy bone. The compact bone surrounding the central medullary cavity provides strength and support to the bone, while spongy bone is typically found at the ends of long bones.


What is located at the end of each long bone?

The spongy bone is the type of bone that you will find at the expansion of longer bones. This helps to fill the irregular spots in bones to make them complete.
