Brianna Cabrera P.1 Skeletal System
Anatomy of the long bone
Long expanded ends (Arm and leg bones)
Humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, phalanges, metatarsals, and phalanges.
Structures of the long bone
Periosteum
A tough layer of dense connective tissue that covers the bone, and is continuous with ligaments and tendons
Medullary cavity
Filled with a special type of connective tissue called bone marrow
Diaphysis
The shaft of the bone is the diaphysis
Contains a hollow chamber (medullary cavity)
Endosteum
A thin layer of cells on the medullary cavity
Epiphyes
Expanded ends of bones that form joints with adjacent bones
Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the epiphyes
Spongy bone
Consists of many branching bony plates called trabeculae
Compact bone
Tightly packed tissue that makes up the diaphysis wall
Projections
Bony processes provide attachment sites for tendons and ligaments, opening or grooves for blood vessels and nerves, and depressions for articulation (forming a joint with another bone)
