MICROANATOMY

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
