Document Summary

Bone function: support the body, protect the soft body parts, produce blood cells, store minerals (calcium & phosphate) and fat, allow for movement by attaching muscles. > shaft of the bone that"s made of compact bone and filled with yellow marrow: epiphysis. > ends of the bone that"s made mostly of spongy bone: articular cartilage. > hyaline cartilage found on the ends of long bones: yellow bone marrow. > makes blood cells found in spongy bone and flat bones: periosteum. > living, outer covering of fibrous connective tissues. Spongy bone: made of plates with spaces filled with red bone marrow. Types of cartilages: cartilage is involved in bone formation, cartilage: flexible connective tissue categorized based on the type and arrangement of matrix fibers, hyaline cartilage. > ends of long bones, nose, ends of ribs, larynx and trachea: fibrocartilage. > disks between vertebrae and in the knee. > stronger than hyaline cartilage: elastic cartilage.
