Answer;

-Shaft of the bone closest to the shoulder joint

Explanation;

-The diaphysis is the main or midsection (shaft) of a long bone. It is made up of cortical bone and usually contains bone marrow and adipose tissue (fat).

-Compared to the other parts of a long bone, the diaphysis is quite different. It has a hollow inside with an open space called the medullary cavity. The cavity is filled with yellow bone marrow, along with blood vessels that supply the living bone tissue.
