What are the Parts of a Long Bone ?

A long bone has two parts: the diaphysis and the epiphysis. 
 
  1. The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone.
  2. The wider section at each end of the bone is called the epiphysis (plural = epiphyses), which is filled wit spongytubercle
