The ends of the long bones
An evagination of the roof of the diencephalons that becomes the pineal gland.
Pertaining to the end of long bones, usually wider than the shaft.
Normal outgrowth that is either entirely cartilaginous or separated from the shaft by a disc made of cartilage. They are parts of a bone formed from a secondary center of ossification usually found on the margin of flat bones at projecting bony parts (processes) during the period of growth. Epiphyses are separated from the main portion of the bones by cartilage.
is the end of the bone that makes up a joint.
Another name for the pineal gland.
Gr. epi - on, upon; Gr. physis - growth]. An evagination of the prosencephalon (forebrain) which later forms the pineal gland.
(plural: epiphyses) A part of a long bone. In children, it is separated from the shaft by a layer of cartilage.
a center for formation of bone at each extremity of long bones
the terminal, usually ossified sections of long bones, including the articulating surfaces. As opposed to the diaphysis and metaphyses. a small, light-sensitive endocrine gland in the brain; situated beneath the back part of the corpus callosum which secretes melaton.
The epiphysis of the brain (also known as the pineal body) is seen as a small round structure between the diencephalon and the telencephalon.
A secondary bone forming centre attached to a bone and separated from it by cartilage.
