An epiphysis (from Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí) 'on top of' and φύσις (phúsis) 'growth'; pl.: epiphyses) is one of the rounded ends or tips of a long bone that ossify from one or more secondary centers of ossification.
Learn about the microscopic and gross anatomy of bones, including the epiphysis, the wider section at each end of a long bone. The epiphysis is filled with spongy bone, a form of osseous tissue that contains red bone marrow.
epiphysis, expanded end of the long bones in animals, which ossifies separately from the bone shaft but becomes fixed to the shaft when full growth is attained. The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone.
The wider section at each end of the bone is called the epiphysis (plural = epiphyses), which is filled with spongy bone. Red marrow fills the spaces in the spongy bone. Each epiphysis meets the diaphysis at the metaphysis, the narrow area that contains the epiphyseal plate (growth plate), a layer of hyaline (transparent) cartilage in a growing ...
Learn about the anatomy, histology, and function of bone tissue. Compare and contrast compact and spongy bone, and identify the epiphysis and other parts of a long bone.

21 Απρ 2024 · Epiphysis: Located at the tip of the long bone, typically responsible for articulation. The epiphysis is also the primary source of red marrow in long bones, the site of erythropoiesis. Metaphysis: The region between the diaphysis and epiphysis that contains the epiphyseal plate in children.
