Cartilage And Bone Connective Tissue

Front 1

the word means "growing between". the elongated part of the long bone. provides the leverage and major weight support of a long bone.

Back 1

diaphysis

Front 2

the knobby region at each end of a long bone. it is enlarged to strengthen the joint and provide more surface for bone-to-bone articulation as well as tendon-ligament attachment.

Back 2

epiphysis

Front 3

describe the inner layer and the outer layer of the epiphysis.

Back 3

the inner layer is composed of spongy bone, and the outer layer is composed of compact bone.

Front 4

the end of the bone closest to the body trunk

Back 4

proximal epiphysis

Front 5

the end of the bone farthest form the body trunk

Back 5

distal epiphysis

Front 6

the area of mature bone sandwiched in between the diaphysis and the epiphysis

Back 6

metaphysis

Front 7

contains the epiphysial growth plate from the growing stages of the bone.

Back 7

metaphysis

Front 8

the thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis.

Back 8

articular cartilage

Front 9

the hollow cylindrical space within the diaphysis.

Back 9

medullary cavity (marrow cavity)

Front 10

the incomplete layer of cells that covers all the internal surfaces of the bone.

Back 10

endosteum
