Explanation:
The metaphysis is the trumpet-shaped end of long bones. It has a thinner cortical area and increased trabecular bone and is wider than the corresponding diaphyseal part of the bone. Porosity in the metaphyseal area is greater than in the diaphyseal area, and the periosteum is more firmly attached in the metaphyseal area as it gets closer to the physis.
