Detailed explanation-2: -The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which is filled with yellow marrow.

Detailed explanation-3: -The medullary cavity is the hollow part of bone that contains bone marrow. The bone marrow makes blood cells and stores fat.

Detailed explanation-4: -The medullary cavity is described as a hollow area in the diaphysis part of the bone and is lined by a delicate membrane called endosteum.
