Document Summary
Def hard, semi-rigid calcified connective tissue forming the skeleton. Short a cube shaped bone (carpal bones) Flat two plates of compact bone separated by cancellous bone (skull) Irregular complex and irregular shape (vertebra) Sesamoid small bone imbedded in a tendon (patella) Long longer than wide, consisting of a diaphysis and two epiphyses with articular cartilage (humerus) Epiphysis the two enlarged ends (proximal and distal extremities) Metaphysis the joining point of the diaphysis and the epiphysis. In young growing animals, this is the location of the physis (see next slide) Periosteum the fibrous covering around the bone that is not. Functions: bone growth, repair, nutrition and attachment for covered in articular cartilage ligaments/tendons (contains marrow) the epiphysis where one bone forms a joint with another bone. Articular surface the smooth layer of hyaline cartilage covering. Medullary cavity the space in the core of the diaphysis. Endosteum the fibrous and cellular tissue lining the medullary. Apophysis an outgrowth of bone (a process)
