Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally have red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.
The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. It is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal cartilage, or growth plate, which aids in the growth of bone length and is eventually replaced by bone.

Where is cartilage found on a long bone?
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
epiphyses
Where is red bone marrow most abundant?
Red bone marrow is found in spongy bone located mostly in the ends of the long bones.Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus.
The site where hematopoiesis occurs is the?
Hematopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow. This bone marrow is found at the ends of long bones. It is also found in the sternum.
Which bone contain red bone marrow?
As children, nearly all of our bones contain red bone marrow, but this gradually gets replaced by yellow marrow as we grow older. As adults, red bone marrow is found mainly in the axial skeleton (skull, spine and rib cage) and girdles (pelvis and shoulders) and at the ends (epiphyses) of the humerus and femur.
Where is cartilage found on a long bone?
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
Where is the spongy bone found?
Spongy bone, which is also called cancellous bone, is found in the inner layer of bones. It is primarily found at the ends of long bones, inside the vertebrae, and proximal to joints.
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
epiphyses
Where is red bone marrow most abundant?
Red bone marrow is found in spongy bone located mostly in the ends of the long bones.Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus.
Where is cartilage found on the surface of a large bone?
In fully formed, non-growing bones, cartilage is found on the ends of bones where they articulate with other bones.
What is the difference between the red bone marrow and the yellow bone marrow?
Red bone marrow is found in places with flatter bones, such as hip bones, along the end in a sponge-like material at the ends of bones. Yellow bone marrow, on the other hand, is found in the center interior portion of longer bones.
What are bones with Latticework structure?
Not a particular bone, but spongy or cancellous bone has a latticework structure. This type of bone is typically found at the ends of long bones as well as making up the bulk of short bones.
The site where hematopoiesis occurs is the?
Hematopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow. This bone marrow is found at the ends of long bones. It is also found in the sternum.
What does red marrow do and where is it found?
Red bone marrow is found in ribs , ends of long bones and is involved in RBC production .
What is the function of the cartilages found at the joint?
The cartilages at the ends of bones act as a soft pliable cushion between the bones that form the joint. Bone on bone movement is very painful.
Which bone contain red bone marrow?
As children, nearly all of our bones contain red bone marrow, but this gradually gets replaced by yellow marrow as we grow older. As adults, red bone marrow is found mainly in the axial skeleton (skull, spine and rib cage) and girdles (pelvis and shoulders) and at the ends (epiphyses) of the humerus and femur.
Red bone marrow is found in spongy or compact bone?
Bone marrow is the substance that is found at the core of bones, and is either made of fat or red blood cells depending on the type of bone in question. For spongy bone, the marrow is made of red blood cells.
