Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The articular cartilage of a typical long bone covers the epiphysis, which is the rounded end of the bone that forms a joint with another bone. The metaphysis is the transitional zone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis, the main shaft of the bone. The nutrient foramen is an opening in the diaphysis where blood vessels and nerves enter. The medullary cavity is a hollow space within the diaphysis that contains bone marrow. Therefore, only choice C (epiphysis) is the correct answer.
