Metaphysis (p. 22): the end of a long bone distal to the epiphysis; the neck of a long bone, region of mature bone where diaphysis joins with epiphysis includes epiphyseal plate. Epiphyseal growth plate (text p. 22-23): the section of bone at either end of the diaphysis which is the active growth centre during growth (in mature bone). Epiphysis (text p. 22): the ends of a long bone, usually larger in diameter than the shaft and contain joint surfaces at ends.
