Long Bones

Epiphysis

Name "a" (the end of the bone)

Diaphysis

Name "b" (the shaft of the bone)

Articular Cartilage

Name "c"

Medullary Cavity

Name "g" (yellow area)

Periosteum

Name "d" (outer covering)

spongy bone (cancellous bone)

Name the red area, "e".

Endosteum

Name "h" (lines the inner cavity)

Compact Bone

Name "f" (pink)

Vein

A blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart that is oxygen poor.

Artery

A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart which is oxygen rich.

Nerve

A bundle of nerve fibers

Hyaline Cartilage is found on

ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones.

Red Bone Marrow

produces red and white blood cells and platelets

Yellow Bone Marrow

gradually replaces red bone marrow in adult bones; functions as storage for fat tissue and is inactive in the formation of blood cells

Long Bones

legs grow faster than arms

Long Bones examples

femur, humerus, tibia, fibula, ulna, radius

Growth Line

Girls' growth plates close when they're about 14-15 years old on average.

Boys' growth plates close by around the time they turn 16-17 on average.

Growth Plate / Epiphyseal Plate

Region of actively dividing cartilage cells that are replaced by bone tissue -increase in length of bone

Height determined by

genetics.

Who has growth plates?

young kids and teens

Where are growth plates found?

end of long bones, thigh , forearm , and hand

Epiphyseal Line

an epiphyseal plate that has become ossified., which means the plate becomes bone.

Articular Cartilage

the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints.

Hyaline Cartilage functions to

assists in the motion of joints

Bones in the body

Girls' bodies normally stop growing around the age of 16.

Boys have usually finished growing by the time they're 19, sometimes 20.

Periosteum

Double-layered connective tissue that covers and nourishes the bone during growth or after a fracture.

Endosteum

the tissue that lines the medullary cavity

Compact Bone

it is dense , in concentric layers and is a layer underneath the periosteum

Cancellous

found in the epiphysis and it contains red bone marrow

Medullary Cavity

serves to lighten bone weight and provide space for marrow.

Articular Cartilage

smooth, slippery, and bloodless

Epiphysis

the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.

Diaphysis

compact bone with a central cavity

Vessels : Artery (red) , Vein (blue) , Nerve (yellow)
