What is the bones of the head called?
The head of the long bone is called the Epiphyseal.The long bone constists of a diaphysis and an epiphysis. The ends are epiphysis and the shaft is diaphysis.
What is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone called?
Long bones mostly consist of compact bone, but the region that does consist of spongy bone is called the epiphysis. There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis. The region consisting of the compact bone is diaphysis.
What is the term for the enlarged ends of long bones?
The term for the enlarged ends of long bones is called epiphyses. They play a crucial role in bone growth and development by containing the growth plate, where new bone tissue forms.
What is the advantage of spongy bone tissue in the ends of long bones?
it is the epiphysismarrow?
What is located at the end of the long bones?
epiphysis
Where would you find the epiphysis?
ends of long bones
A bulged end of a long bone such as the femur is called?
The bulged end of a long bone such as the femur is called the epiphysis. It contains the growth plate, where new bone growth occurs during development. The epiphysis is important for joint stability and allows for smooth movement between bones.
What is the common name for the epiphysis?
The common name for the epiphysis is the growth plate. It is the area of developing tissue near the ends of the long bones in children and adolescents where bone growth occurs.
Covers long bone except at its joint surfaces?
Cartalige
The ends of the long bone are called?
Epiphyses. (Diaphysis is the middle part). You might also be asking the name of the knobby parts on the ends, which articulate with the next bone and make up the joint: those are 'condyles'.
Bone found in the epiphysis of the bone?
The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, and it contains spongy bone tissue that provides structural support and helps in shock absorption. The epiphysis also plays a role in bone growth and development by containing red bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells.
What bone is found towards the ends of long bones?
Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally have red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. It is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal cartilage, or growth plate, which aids in the growth of bone length and is eventually replaced by bone.
