The epiphysis (/ÉËpÉªfÉ¨sÉ¨s/) is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).At the joint, the epiphysis is covered with articular cartilage; below that covering is a zone similar to the epiphyseal plate, known as subchondral bone. Another example of a pressure epiphysis is the head of the humerus which is part of the shoulder complex. 2  Traction epiphysis: The regions of the long bone which are non-articular, i.e. not involved in joint formation. 3  Unlike pressure epiphyses, these regions do not assist in weight transmission.
