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.


Articular cartilage found at the end of the long bones serves to?

Articular cartilage found at the end of long bones serves to reduce friction between bones during movement, distribute loads, and provide cushioning to absorb shocks. It also helps in maintaining joint flexibility and range of motion.


What is the comparison of the long bone and flat bone?

Flat bones have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles (ex. ribs, cranial bones, bones of shoulder girdle).Long bones are longer than they are wide and work as levers. The bones of the upper and lower extremities (ex. humerus, tibia, femur, ulna, metacarpals, etc.) are of this type At birth, all bone marrow is red. But in an adult, most red blood cells are produced in the flat bones, which still have red marrow. The long bones gradually fill with yellow marrow.


Distal and proximal ends of long bones?

The distal end of a long bone is the end farthest from the center of the body, while the proximal end is the end closest to the body's center. These ends are important for articulating with other bones and facilitating movement at joints.


What is a lightweight bone filled with spaces?

A lightweight bone filled with spaces is likely to be a cancellous or spongy bone. This type of bone tissue has a honeycomb-like structure with many small cavities that are filled with bone marrow. Cancellous bone is found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of flat bones.
