| A bone that contains diaphysis and epiphysis areas, a curvature for strength, and is proportionally more compact than spongy bone is the: | – humerus |
| The superior nasal concha is a part of which bone? | ethmoid |
Where are the epiphysis and diaphysis located?
The central tubular region of the bone, called the diaphysis, flares outward near the end to form the metaphysis, which contains a largely cancellous, or spongy, interior. At the end of the bone is the epiphysis, which in young people is separated from the metaphysis by the physis, or growth plate.
What bone contains diaphysis?
It is made up of cortical bone and usually contains bone marrow and adipose tissue (fat). It is a middle tubular part composed of compact bone which surrounds a central marrow cavity which contains red or yellow marrow. In diaphysis, primary ossification occurs….

Do flat bones have an epiphysis and diaphysis?
The end of the long bone is the epiphysis and the shaft is the diaphysis. Flat bones are composed of two thin layers of compact bone that surround a layer of cancellous (spongy) bone. In an adult, most red blood cells are formed in the marrow in flat bones.
Which bone contains areas of diaphysis and epiphysis a tuberosity for deltoid near its middle and is proportionally more compact than spongy bone?

Which bone forms the prominence of the cheek?
zygomatic bone
The zygomatic bone forms the bony prominence of the cheek. It also forms the lower lateral part of the orbital margin, and this part of the lateral orbital wall.
Where is epiphysis of the bone?
long bone
Anatomical terminology The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
Is compact bone located in the diaphysis or in the epiphysis?
A hollow medullary cavity filled with yellow marrow runs the length of the diaphysis of a long bone. The walls of the diaphysis are compact bone. The epiphyses, which are wider sections at each end of a long bone, are filled with spongy bone and red marrow.
What is the region of long bone found between the diaphysis and the epiphysis called?
epiphyseal plate
Until adolescence, hyaline cartilage persists at the epiphyseal plate (growth plate), which is the region between the diaphysis and epiphysis that is responsible for the lengthwise growth of long bones (Figure 6). Figure 6. Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from hyaline cartilage.
What is the region of a mature bone between the diaphysis and epiphysis called?
Until adolescence, hyaline cartilage persists at the epiphyseal plate (growth plate), which is the region between the diaphysis and epiphysis that is responsible for the lengthwise growth of long bones.
What is epiphysis metaphysis and diaphysis?
FMA. 24012. Anatomical terminology. The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
