Answer:

Not very many people might know what you are talking about lol so I'm here to help!

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The shaft of a long bone is called the diaphysis.
  • The central, fat-storing marrow cavity is found inside the diaphysis.
  • At each end of the bone, at the site of the synovial joint, is an area called epiphysis.
  • At the juncture between the two is an area called the metaphysis.

Here are four main points that really used to help me in my health classes.

Use them to your advantage!!

Have a great day!!
