Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, which articulates with another bone to form a joint. The diaphysis is the long, cylindrical shaft of the bone. The shaft and compact bone are also parts of the long bone, but neither refers specifically to the end of the bone. Canaliculi are microscopic canals in bone tissue that allow for communication between adjacent osteocytes.
