covers the outside of compact bone, white, and is the anchoring point for tendons (m to b) and ligaments (b to b)

endosteum ( irregular, short, flat bones)

covers the inside portion of compact bone, anf the trabaculae of spongy bone, and canals, and also contains ostegeneic cells like the periosteum

diaphysis (long bone)

tubular shaft that forms the long axis of bone

epiphyses (long bone)

ends of long bones that conists of compact bone externally and spongy bone internally

epiphyseal plate (long bone) head area

where bone growth occurs

epiphyseal line

separates the diaphysis from the epiphyses
