What is the metaphysis? The Diaphysis and Epiphysis meeting point (growth plate)
What is the diaphysis? The Shaft/body of a long bone
What is the Articular Cartilage? Hyaline cartilage covering epiphyses (reduces friction)
What is the Periosteum? Tough CT covering outside of bone (Sharpey's perforating fibers)
