proteoglycans
rope like protein, joints have cartilage containing this
collagen
dense irregular connective tissue, contains blood vessels and nerves, covers bones outer surface
periosteum
ends of bone, spongy tissue
epiphysis
central shaft, main portion of long bone, compact tissue
diaphysis
rigid elements of the skeleton meet here, join bone to bone, most flexible points of any skeleton
articulation
site of growth in long bones, composed of hylaine cartilage, between diaphysis and epiphysis, fuses to this when growth ends
epithelial plate/line
center of diaphysis, filled with red or yellow marrow
medullary cavity
thin connective tissue membrane that lines medullary cavity
endosteum
consists of blood
red marrow
consists of fat
yellow marrow
