Detailed explanation-1: -The end of the long bone is the epiphysis and the shaft is the diaphysis. When a human finishes growing these parts fuse together. The outside of the flat bone consists of a layer of connective tissue called the periosteum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ends of a long bone are known as the epiphysis. The rounded end of a long bone is known as the epiphysis and the shaft of the bone is called the diaphysis. The space in between the two is called the metaphysis and this is the location of the epiphyseal plate, more commonly known as the growth plate.
