   The diaphysis is located in the middle section of a long bone. It’s essentially the main shaft that runs between the two wider ends of the bone. You can think of it as the long, hollow tube that makes up most of the bone’s length.

     Here’s a breakdown of a long bone’s structure:

     Diaphysis: The middle tubular shaft, as mentioned earlier. This is the part we discussed.

     Epiphysis (plural: epiphyses): The rounded ends of the long bone. These provide support and articulation (connection) with other bones.

     Metaphysis: The regions where the diaphysis and epiphyses meet. These areas contain growth plates in growing bones.

     Medullary cavity: The hollow space within the diaphysis. In adults, this cavity is filled with yellow bone marrow.
