5 classificaitons of bone
Long Short Flat Irregular Sesamoid
Describe long bone

6 parts of long bone
Diaphysis (shaft) Epiphyses (ends) Articulate cartilage Periosteum Medullary cavity Endosteum
Describe diaphysis of long bone
Hollow tube, hard compact bone, strong and light
Describe epiphyses of long bone
Contains spongy bone filled with red bone marrow
Provides attachments for muscles and stability for joints
Describe articulations cartilage of long bone
Thin layer that covers each end of the bone, cushions the bone
Describe 4 things for periosteum of long bone
Strong fibrous membrane covering the bone everywhere but the joints
Attaches tendons to bone
So Tanis osteoblasts, osteoclasts and blood vessel
Essential for bone formation and survival
