3 types of cartilage
1. Hyaline - most common but weakest

3. Elastic - very elastic
type of cartilage found in the ear and epiglottis
elastic cartilage
type of cartilage found in meniscus, IV disc, pubic symphysis
fibrocartilage
growth in bone diameter
appositional growth
the elongated usually cylindrical shaft of a bone
diaphysis

ossification
(osteogenesis)
spaces within the matrix of the bone where osteocytes reside
lacunae
