Pen and Paper


Action
» Thin layer of compact bone
surrounding an area filled with
spongy bone at the end of the long
bones.

Question #1
»Epiphysis
» Harder exterior osseous tissue tightly
joined together that provides a strong
surface of bone.

Question #2
» Compact Bone!
• Shaft of the bone. Makes up most
of the bone’s length. Composed of
compact bone.

Question #3
» Diaphysis
• Covers the epiphyses of the
long bones and decreases
friction of bones at joint
surfaces

Question #4
» Articular Cartilage
• Softer osseous tissue that is
porous and made of tiny littler
pieces of bone.

Question #5
» Spongy bone
» Cavity of the bone shaft In
children used for blood cell
formation, in adults it is used
for storage of fat.

Question #6
» Medullary Cavity
» Used as the storage of fat

Question #7
»Yellow Marrow
» Found in the spongy bone of
long bones and is used in
hematopoiesis. Stored in the
spongy bone tissue of the
epiphyses of long bones.

Question #8
»Red Marrow
» Connective tissue that protects
and covers the diaphysis

Question #9
» Periosteum
» Hyaline cartilage found
within the bone that allows
for continued growth
throughout youth.

Question #10
» Epiphyseal Plates
» Bone cell

Question #11
» Osteocyte
» Blood Cell Formation

Question #12
» Hematopoiesis
» Contains the bone cell

Question #13
» Lacuna
» Connects the lacunae and
provides transport for
nutrients for the osteocytes

Question #14
» Canaliculi
» A bone unit

Question #15
» Osteon
