Epiphysis |
In the long bones, it is the expanded head to each end |
|

|
|
Metaphysis |

|
|
Articular Cartilage- Hyaline cartilage |
smooth white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. |
|
|
Endosteum - connective tissue lining the medullary cavity |
serves as one of the functional surfaces for bone remodeling. |
|
|
Periosteum- Completely covers a bone, except in the region of the articular cartilage. |
provides strong attachment and continuity from muscle to tendon to bone |
|
|
Compact Bone |
the shell of many bones and surrounds the bone in the center -dense in texture without cavities (holes) |
|
|
Spongy Bone |
located within the medullary cavity - named because of its sponge like structure with numerous cavities. |
|
|

functions: eases joint movement holds airway open moves vocal cords in speech Location: ends of bones at joints costal cartilage of ribs rings & plates around trachea and bronchi |
