Structure of Bones
A membrane that covers all bones with the exception of the articular surface
Periosteum
Structure of Bones
Cortical bone; densely closely knit bone resembling ivory, made up of compact Haversian system
Compact bone
Structure of Bones
Porous loosely- knit bone similar in appearance to a sponge, or honeycomb, or latticework
Spongy or cancellous bone
Structure of Bones
a central cavity extending longitudinally in the shafts of long bones. It contains the bone marrow
The medullary cavity or marrow cavity
Structure of Bones
Membrane that lines the medullary cavities of a long bone
Endosteum
Structure of Bones
Tissue occupying the medullary cavities of long bones and the spaces in spongy bone and what are its two examples?
Bone Marrow
- Red bone marrow
- Yellow bone marrow
Structure of Bones
Small opening in the periosteum and opens into a nutrient canal. It carries a nerve artery into bone, and provides a passage for veins and lymphatics
The nutrient foramen
