What is the gross anatomy of a long bone?
The major anatomical areas of a long bone are: The Diaphysis - The long, slender shaft of the bone that is composed of compact bone and houses the medullary cavity. The Epiphysis - The ends of the bone that are composed of spongy bone. This area is also the location of the growth plates.
Bones that are thin and composed of two relatively parallel plates of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone are called?
Flat bones. these are curved and flat and mostly act as protective covrings and attachment sites for muscles. eg flat bones of skull vault. the compact bones are called tables and the spongy bone is known as dipole.
Site of compact bone in adult?
Compact bone is the outer region of all the bones in your body.There are two basic parts of each of your bones:There is an outer hard layer of bone called either compact bone or cortical bone. this layer is much more dense.There is an inner layer of bone called either cancellous bone or trabecular bone. This is a softer bone and contains bone marrow and much more blood vessels than the cortical (compact) bone.
What type of bone is the diaphysis of a long bone?
You have a primary cartilaginous joint between epiphysis and diaphysis. There is a plate of cartilage between the two. That make it possible for the bone to grow in length. This plate of cartilage is replaced by the bone tissue as the growth ceases.
Mostly solid dense part of bone?
The dense, solid outer layer of bone is called cortical bone. It provides strength and support to the bone structure and is characterized by its compact and dense nature. Cortical bone forms the hard exterior of bones, while trabecular bone makes up the inner spongy structure.
What category of the bone is composed of two layers of compact bone sandwhichng a layer of spongy bone?
diaphysis

Is the compact bone spongy?
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.

What type of bone provides protections and forms a thick layer in the diaphysis of the long bone?
compact bone
Which type of bone provides protection and forms a thick layer in the diaphysis of a long bone?
compact bone
What is the name of the end of any bone in the body?
The end of any bone in the body is called the "epiphysis." Bones typically have two epiphyses—one at each end—where they articulate with other bones at joints. The epiphysis is composed of spongy bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone and is involved in the formation of joints and the development of bone growth.
What layer of bone is called the diploe?
spongy layer between the compact bone layers of the edges of flat bones
What are the four regions of bone?
spongy layer, compact bone, cartilage, and bone marrow
