∙ 13y agoIn a long bone you have a diaphysis and epiphysis. The epiphysis is at the distal ends of the long bone. The diaphysis is the shaft. In an adult the epiphyseal ends contain the epiphyseal line, red bone marrow and spongy bone. The central canal contain yellow marrow ( adipose tissue). In a child red marrow (myoloid tissue). The yellow marrow in adults and reverse back into red marrow if the body is suffering from anemia. Red marrow can normally be found in the head of the humerus and femur, spine, skull, ribs, and pelvic girdle.

What cavities are enclosed in bone?
The medullary cavity is the innermost part, the central cavity of the bone shaft where red and yellow bone marrow is stored. An antrum is a cavity or chamber especially in the bone of the sinuses of the upper jaw bones, opening into the nasal cavity.
Medullary cavity function?
The medullary cavity contains yellow bone marrow.
What is the function of the medullary cavity?
The medullary cavity is the central cavity of bone shafts. This is where red and yellow bone marrow are stored. The medullary cavity is also involved in the formation of red and white blood cells.
What is the hollow area inside of the diaphysis of a bone?
It is the space where you will find bone marrow, which is where Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells are formed
Why do people have spongy bone and compact bone?
Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions. Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels. Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
What is the central spaces of the long bone called what?
Medullary Cavity
What does a nutrient artery do?
It is a large artery that supplies the central medullary cavity of a long bone with nutrients and oxygen.

What does the medullary cavity do in the bone?
the medullary cavity in the bone is located in the middle of a long bone and yellow marrow is located here (only seen in adults).
What is the thin cavity that lines the central cavity of long bones?
endosteum
What is the scientific term for bone shaft?
The shaft of the bone, between the epiphyses, is called the diaphysis. It has a hollow central medullary cavity containing marrow.The shaft of long bones is called DIAPHYSIS
What is in the middle of a long bone?
A long bone consists of: Periosteum, articular cartilage, medullary cavity, endosteum, cancellous bone, blood vessels, and compact bone.
Do bones have a filled cavity in them?
Most bones consist of two types of bone: the cortical bone is the hard smooth bone on the outside and the cancellous bone is on the inside. The cancellous bone is spongey and fibrous and fills the medulla cavity of the bone. So yes, they do have a filled cavity, but it's most evident in long bones like the femur or humerus.
What is another word for a bone cavity?
Medullary Cavity or bone cavity is also a word called fossa.
What is the hollow area inside of the diaphysis of a bone?
It is the space where you will find bone marrow, which is where Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells are formed
