Answer 20

contains the medullary cavity storing yellow bone marrow and provides leverage for body movement

Question 21

surrounds bone surface along diaphysis

Question 22

what is the function of the periosteum ?

provides site for ligament/ tendon attachment

Question 23

where is the articular cartilage ?

Answer 23

covers articular surfaces of bones- epiphysis

Question 24

what is the function of the articular cartilage ?

Answer 24

protects bone form wear and tear in the joint as it reduces friction and absorbs shock

Question 25

what is the function of the cancellous/ spongey bone ?

Answer 25

stores red bone marrow which produces red white blood cells and platelets.

Question 26

what is the function of the compact bone ?

Answer 26

gives bone its strength and resists stresses produced by weight and movement

Question 27

what is the function of the medullary cavity (Diaphysis) ?

Answer 27

contains fatty yellow bone marrow and blood vessels

Question 28

what is the function of the growth plate ?

Answer 28

a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows diaphysis to grow in length. cartilage cells stop dividing in early adulthood, where it is replaced with bonew
