What is the structure of a long bone?
The long bone consists of the epiphysis and diaphysis. The epiphysis is the end part of the long bone and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. In the shaft of the long bone, there is yellow bone marrow which stores fat in adults and produces white blood cells. In the end parts of the long bone is red bone marrow which makes red blood cells. On one end of the long bone, where there is the joint, it is covered with smooth cartilage. Surrounding the outer surface of the bone is a tough membrane called periosteum. Just beneath the membrane and above the bone tissue is compact bone tissue.
