• Protect internal organs • Provide a framework of support for the body. • Store calcium • Produce blood cells |
|
Joint |
two or more bones meet together. |
|
diaphysis epiphyses |
Two main parts of the long bone. |
|
Periosteum |
Outermost layer of the bone. It’s that hard layer that you can see on the bone, and it’s made up of fibrous tissue. |
|
Compact bone |
Found under the periosteum and made up of hard layers of bone tissue |
|
Cancellous bone, or “spongy bone” |
Bone containing little spaces that look like a sponge; found inside layers of the compact bone |
|
Endosteum |

|
Bone marrow |
Found in the cavities of bones. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red bone marrow is thick material where blood cells are formed. It’s found in flat bones and the ends of long bones. Yellow marrow is a softer, fatty material. It’s found in the medullary cavity, or the inner part, of long bones |
