what is the function of yellow bone marrow
stores fat
the shaft of a long bone is called the
diaphysis
the site where bone growth occurs in a long bone is the
epiphyseal plates (discs)
a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones
endosteum
the site where bone growth occurs in a long bone is the
ossification center
a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones, except at the joints of long bones
periosteum
one of the cells in the inner layer of the periosteum that develop into osteoblasts
osteogenic cells
in bone, fat is stored in the
yellow marrow
appears about the time of birth, in each end (epiphysis) of long bones
secondary ossification center
the cells responsible for bone resorption, thus they break down bone
osteoclasts
Their functions include, to varying degrees: formation of bone; matrix maintenance; and calcium homeostasis
osteocytes
