The knuckle-like process at the end of a bone is known as an articular surface or articular prominence. It plays a key role in forming joints and allowing for smooth movement between bones. The shape and structure of these articular surfaces vary depending on the type of joint and the specific bones involved.
The bump on your wrist is the end of the ulna bone. It is called the ulnar styloid process.
The styloid process is a bony protuberance off of the temporal bone. During embryological development, the dorsal end of the second pharyngeal arch cartilage forms the stapes and the styloid process. It is the cartilaginous viscerocranium that is derived from the first two pharyngeal arches.
The fibula bone has the head located on the distal end. The head of the fibula articulates with the tibia to form the superior tibiofibular joint.
The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.
A rounded process that usually articulates with another bone is called a condyle. Condyles are rounded projections at the end of a bone that form joints with other bones, allowing for smooth and stable movement.

Osteogenesis is the process of bone growth. It occurs in children at the epiphyseal plate, which is located at the end of bones. If the growth plates are injured during childhood, kids may end up with shortened or deformed limbs.

Osteogenesis is the process of growing new bone. This occurs as children grow, and pretty much stops at the end of puberty. As a person ages, they will start to lose some of that bone growth.
When the epiphysis closes on a bone, the bone can no longer grow in length. The closure of the epiphysis marks the end of longitudinal bone growth, but the bone can still increase in thickness through a process called appositional growth.
The scientific term for bone end is "epiphysis." This is the rounded end of a long bone that forms a joint with another bone.
