Q

Cancellous/spongy bone

A

Made up of spongy porous bone tissue that is filled with red bone marrow
Honeycomb structure that provides more flexibility
Most often towards the top of the bone

Q

Epiphyseal growth plate

A

Layer of cartilage at the ends of long bones that allows growth and length to occur to reach mature height
It is near the top and bottom of bone

Q

Articular cartilage

A

I’m very top and bottom of bone

Q

What makes bones strong and light

A

Calcium makes up under 10% of the bone weight which provides the stiffness and resistances to forces. Also made up of water to create the weightlessness
