Anatomy of a long bone: spongy bone, epiphyseal line, red bone marrow, medullary cavity, yellow bone marrow, periosteum, nutrient artery, articular cartilage, Endosteum, compact bone, proximal epiphysis, metaphysic, diaphysis, distal epiphysis
How bones form, grow and remodel:most bones are formed through endochondral ossification, this is the process by which growing cartilage is systematically replaced by bone to form the grow skeleton. Bone remodeling is the replacement of old bone of old bone tissue by new bone tissue-- process of bone deposition or bone production by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts
Stages of bone healing:1. hematoma 2. fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Bone remodeling
