Question

pre-lab video coaching activity: examining a long bone
identify the following areas of the long bone - diaphysis, proximal epiphysis, and distal epiphysis. place the name into the respective targets. each area name may only be used once.
proximal epiphysis
diaphysis
distal epiphysis

Explanation:

Identify the anatomical features

Using the Long Bone Structure knowledge point

The image shows a long bone (specifically a femur) cut longitudinally. We need to identify the target label on the right side of the image.

• The pointer line for the target box on the right points to the long, central shaft of the bone.
• The central shaft of a long bone is anatomically termed the diaphysis.
• The proximal end (with the rounded head) is the proximal epiphysis.
• The distal end (at the opposite extremity) is the distal epiphysis.

Since the pointer line on the right clearly points to the middle shaft region of the bone, the correct label for this target is Diaphysis.

Answer:

Identify the following areas of the long bone - diaphysis, proximal epiphysis, and distal epiphysis. Place the name into the respective targets. Each area name may only be used once.

The target label on the right points to the <blank>Diaphysis</blank>.
