The head of a long bone that articulates with a neighboring skeletal element and is separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate until bone growth stops. At that time, the plate disappears and the head and shaft are united[MESH,modified]. [ MESH : A02.835.232.251 http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6601-2165 ]
