What forms in the tendon specially in short bone?
Sesamoid bone
Give one example of irregular bone
Spinal column
Makes up most bone length
Diaphysis or shaft
Covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue
Diaphysis
Covers bone by fibrous connective tissue
Periosteum
Hundreds of connective tissue fibers also known as
Perforating Fibers or sharpey’s fiber
Secure the periosteum 2d underlying bone
Sharpey’s fibers
End of long bone
Epiphyses
Consists of thin layer of compact bone
Epiphyses
Thin line of bony tissue, remant of epiphyseal plate
Epihyseal line
