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.
What else can I help you with?
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 a long bone?
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
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.
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone. It is less dense than compact bone and has a honeycomb-like structure that provides support while allowing flexibility. Spongy bone contains bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.
Bone marrow can be either red or?
yellow. Yellow bone marrow is composed mainly of fat cells and is found in the central cavity of long bones, while red bone marrow is responsible for producing blood cells and is found in flat bones and the ends of long bones.

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 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.
Where is the spongy bone found?
Spongy bone, also known as trabecular bone, is found at the ends of long bones, within the interior of flat bones, and in the middle of short bones. It consists of a network of bony struts or trabeculae that provide structural support while also allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste products in bone tissue.
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.
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone. It is less dense than compact bone and has a honeycomb-like structure that provides support while allowing flexibility. Spongy bone contains bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.
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.
Bone marrow can be either red or?
yellow. Yellow bone marrow is composed mainly of fat cells and is found in the central cavity of long bones, while red bone marrow is responsible for producing blood cells and is found in flat bones and the ends of long bones.
What is the difference between spongey bone and compact bone and where are both found?
Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, has a porous structure and is found at the ends of long bones and within the interior of flat bones. It contains red bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. Compact bone is dense and hard, forming the outer layer of bones. It provides strength and protection to the bone.
