Soft+spongy tissue found within the bone
Red bone marrow= Produces red, white blood cells and platelets
Yellow bone marrow= Produces fat+ cartilage
Description of epiphysis?
2 points
Rounded end of the bone
Forms an articulation/ joint with another bone
Description of diaphysis?
1 point
Central shaft/long part of the bone
Description of growth plates(epiphyseal plate)? Disc of cartilage found.... Responsible for... Separates.... Only place where an... Growing stops replaced... (5 points)
Disc of cartilage found at the end of each long bone
Responsible for bone growth
Separates diaphysis from epiphysis
Only place where an increase in bone length
Growing stops it’s replaced by epiphyseal line
Description of cancellous bone?
2 points
Spongy bone found within ends (epiphysis) of long bones
Honeycomb appearance+ provides space for red bone marrow inside bone structure
Description of compact bone?
(1 point)
Also known as (cortical bone)
Hard tissue surrounding the bone
Description of medullary cavity?
1 point
Space in a bone where bone marrow is stored
Description of blood vessel?
1 point
Provides blood to the bone
