Question

write about the epiphysis seen in long bones.

Answer 1

The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bones. Between the epiphysis and diaphysis lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate. At the joint, the epiphysis is covered with articular cartilage; below that covering is a zone similar to the epiphyseal plate, known as subchondral bone.

The epiphysis is filled with red bone marrow, which produces erythrocytes [RBC]

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!.

Answer 2

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).
