Explanation:

Question 2

The ends of a long bone are known as epiphysis. Diaphysis is the shaft, metaphysis is the region between epiphysis and diaphysis, and periosteum is a membrane covering the bone (except at joints). So the correct answer is A.

The patella (kneecap) is a sesamoid bone, which is a type of bone that forms within a tendon. Long bones are like femur, short bones like carpals, and irregular bones like vertebrae. So the correct answer is C.

The medullary cavity is the hollow space within the diaphysis of a long bone that contains bone marrow. Haversian canal is part of the osteon, trabecula is part of spongy bone, and lacuna is a space for osteocytes. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A) Epiphysis
