articular cartilage
cartilage covering part of the bulb helping it articulate (shows up blue)
spongy bone
mostly in the epipysis / bulb. framework, resist forces from many directions and creates space for bone marrow
epiphyseal line
aka sealed version of the epiphyseal plate, which is how the bone grows as we grow up and taller
medullary cavity
this is where red and yellow hone marrow are housed
periosteum
dense irregular connective tissue which attaches to the bone my perforating fibers made of collagen. it has blood vessels and nerves
it’s an attachment point and nourishes the bone
endosteum
membrane that lines the internal surface of the bone(lines the medullary cavity)
yellow marrow
connective tissue with adipocytes that store triglycerides (fat storage)
