Joints- lab

Question 1

Periosteum

Answer 1

The membrane that covers the bone surface, except at joints

Question 2

Diaphysis

Answer 2

Bone shaft that forms a long axis

Question 3

Epiphysis

Answer 3

Bone ends

Question 4

Epiphyseal plate

Answer 4

“growth plate”- a disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone.

Question 5

Articular cartilage

Answer 5

cover the ends of most bones at movable joints

Question 6

Meniscus

Answer 6

A piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the femur and tibia, can be torn with sudden twisting movements

Question 7

Joint cavity

Answer 7

Only found in synovial joints. It is defined as empty space between the bones that form the joint or around the joint itself

Question 8

Synovial fluid

Answer 8

A fluid located between your joints. It cushions your bones and reduces the friction between your joints
