Answer 31

Long Bones

Question 32

found at the both ends of long bones, can be made out of spongy bone and a thin layer of the compact bone. these ands are smooth and comparably larger than the diaphysis. ensures less possibility of bone dislocation. provide large surface area for articulation.

Answer 32

Epiphysis
