This human anatomy diagram with labels depicts and explains the details and or parts of the Long Bone Shaft Image. Human anatomy diagrams and charts show internal organs, body systems, cells, conditions, sickness and symptoms information and/or tips to ensure one lives in good health.

endosteum. the end of the long bone is called. epiphysis. the shaft of a long bone is called. diaphysis. Correspondingly, which term describes the shaft of a long bone?

This image represents the parts of a long bone. The labels include proximal epiphysis, proximal metaphysis, diaphysis (bone shaft), distal metaphysis, distal epiphysis, and epiphyseal line (x2). The following image gets into a little more detail in regard to human long bone structure.

Long bone fracture 1 The location of the fracture (the tibial shaft is divided into thirds: distal, middle, and proximal) 2 The pattern of the fracture (for example, the bone can break in different directions, such as crosswise, lengthwise, or in the middle) 3 Whether the skin and muscle over the bone is torn by the injury (open fracture)
