csontvégeket
Csontvégek, or "bone ends" in Hungarian, refer to the epiphyseal regions of long bones in the human skeletal system. These areas are located at the proximal and distal ends of bones, such as the femur, humerus, tibia, and radius. The epiphyses are primarily composed of spongy (cancellous) bone, which is characterized by a lattice-like structure that provides strength while maintaining a lightweight composition. This structure is essential for absorbing shock and supporting the weight of the body.
During growth, the epiphyses are separated from the diaphysis (the shaft of the bone) by the growth
The epiphyses play a crucial role in joint formation, as they articulate with adjacent bones to create
Conditions affecting the epiphyses can have significant clinical implications. Growth plate injuries, such as those caused
