Place where all blood cells are made
Red bone marrow
Place in bone where fat is stored
Yellow bone marrow
Minerals found in bone
Calcium phosphorus etc.
Shaft of long bones
Diaphysis
End of a long bone closer to the trunk of the body
Proximal epiphysis
Ends of long bones
Epiphyses
Dense irregular tissue that covers bones
Periosteum
Cavity in the shaft of long bones
Medullary or marrow cavity
Type of cartilage found in articular cartilage
hyaline
Type of cartilage found an epiphyseal plate
hyaline
Growth plate in long bones
Epiphyseal plate
Layer of periosteum that contains osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Osteogenic layer (cellular layer)
Two layers of periosteum
Osteogenic and fibrous layer
Tissue found in the fibrous layer of periosteum
Dense irregular
Collagen fibers that attach to periosteum to bone
Sharpey fibers
Dense irregular connective tissue that connects bone to bone
ligament
Dense regular tissue that connects muscle to bone
Tendon
Bone eating cell
osteoclast
Inorganic ground substance of bone
Calcium salts
Organic portion of bone matrix
Collagen fibers
Property given to the bone by collagen fibers
Flexibility
Property given to the bone by calcium salts
Hardness
Bone stem cells
Osteoprogenitor cells
Cells that create bone matrix
Osteoblast
Two major types of bone
Spongy bone and compact bone
