Articular cartilage

• Dense, white connective tissue that covers the articulating surfaces of bones at joints

• Material with a rich blood supply, found within the marrow cavity of long bones; yellow marrow stores fat, and red marrow is active in producing blood cells

• Dense solid bone that covers the outer surface of all bones and is the main form of bone tissue in the long bone

• The shaft of a long bone

Bone marrow

• Dense, white connective tissue that covers the articulating surfaces of bones at joints

• Material with a rich blood supply, found within the marrow cavity of long bones; yellow marrow stores fat, and red marrow is active in producing blood cells

• Dense solid bone that covers the outer surface of all bones and is the main form of bone tissue in the long bone

• The shaft of a long bone

Cortical bone

• Dense, white connective tissue that covers the articulating surfaces of bones at joints

• Material with a rich blood supply, found within the marrow cavity of long bones; yellow marrow stores fat, and red marrow is active in producing blood cells

• Dense solid bone that covers the outer surface of all bones and is the main form of bone tissue in the long bone

Diaphysis

• Dense, white connective tissue that covers the articulating surfaces of bones at joints

• Material with a rich blood supply, found within the marrow cavity of long bones; yellow marrow stores fat, and red marrow is active in producing blood cells

• Dense solid bone that covers the outer surface of all bones and is the main form of bone tissue in the long bone

Epiphyseal plate

• Growth plate near the ends of long bones where osteoblast activity increases bone length

• The bulbous end of a long bone

• Major passageways running in the direction of the length of long bones, providing paths for blood and vessels

• Includes a single Haversian canal along with its multiple canaliculi, which branch out to join with lacunae, forming a comprehensive transportation, matrix for supply of nutrients, and removal of waste products
