Anatomy of Long Bone/Microscopic Structure Flashcards
Epiphysis
Expanded ends
Diaphysis
Shaft
Periosteum
Membrane that covers the bone
NOT the ends though
Sharpys fibers
Fibers that penetrate the bone from the periosteum, holds them together
Articular cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Endosteum
Inside bone membrane lining the medullary cavity
Yellow marrow
Adipose tissue in adults
Epiphyseal plate/disc
growth plate
Epiphyseal lines
Where diaphysis and epiphysis meet and form together
Medullary cavity
Inside hallow part of bone
Red marrow
Medullary cavity, ends of bones in spongy bone makes blood
Osteon
The whole system all the lamella lacunae lamellae osteocytes canaliculi volkmans canals
Haversian canal, Central canal, Osteonic canal
Blood vessels run through in the center
Lamellae
Multiple rings around the haversian canal
Only one ring is called a lamella
Lacunae
Black holes around lamellae, osteocytes are inside of each of these
