![]() ![]() Bone is made of bone tissue, a type of dense connective tissue.īone (osseous) tissue is the structural and supportive connective tissue of the body that forms the rigid part of the bones that make up the skeleton. ![]() They also produce various blood cells, store minerals, and provide support for mobility in conjunction with muscle. epiphyseal plate: A hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis, located at each end of a long bone where growth occurs in children and adolescents.īones support and protect the body and its organs.diaphysis: The central shaft of any long bone.medullary cavity: The medullary cavity, also known as the marrow cavity, is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored.endosteum: A thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bone tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.In an adult, most red blood cells are formed in the marrow in flat bones. Flat bones are composed of two thin layers of compact bone that surround a layer of cancellous (spongy) bone.Flat bones have broad surfaces for protection or muscular attachment.The interior part of the long bone is the medullary cavity with the inner core of the bone cavity being composed of marrow.The outside of the flat bone consists of a layer of connective tissue called the periosteum.When a human finishes growing these parts fuse together. The end of the long bone is the epiphysis and the shaft is the diaphysis. ![]() Long bones are those that are longer than they are wide. ![]()
