APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ends of a long bone contain spongy bone and an epiphyseal line . The epiphyseal line is a remnant of an area that contained hyaline cartilage that grew during childhood to lengthen the bone. All of the bones in the arms and legs, except the patella, and bones of the wrist, and ankle, are long bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the joint, the epiphysis is covered with articular cartilage; below that covering is a zone similar to the epiphyseal plate, known as subchondral bone.
