Bone Tissue

  1. Yellow Marrow → fatty, found in medullary cavity of long bones; structure

  2. Red Marrow → produce RBC; found in spongy bone and at the ends of long bones

Bone Cells

  1. Osteocytes → mature bone cells that maintain bone structure

  2. Osteoblasts → build bone matrix (deposition)

  3. osteoclasts → cleave (break down) bone matrix (resorption)

Growth Plate Histology

Long bone growth happens at the epiphyseal plate

Growth plates are composed of hyaline cartilage
