All bones are formed from two types of bone structure. The shaft of long bones are composed of compact bone, and the inner parts of the shaft and each end is formed of spongy bone. In addition: in a fully grown adult all of the bones are formed of actual calcified bone. In a growing body however there are still section of Primary Cartillage which can grow. These section are in small plates (called Epiphesial Plates) in the Necks of long bones like the Femur. The neck of a bone like this is where the Head (usually a rounded part that is part of a joint) connects to the main lengthy part. The exact proportions varies far to greatly to put a number on but the vast vast majority of long bones are bone.

It is true that hyaline cartilage constructed the long bones of a fetus?

Yes, it is true that in a developing fetus, the long bones are initially formed from hyaline cartilage. This cartilage serves as a scaffold that is gradually converted into bone through a process known as endochondral ossification.


Is the metacarpal bone a short bone a flat bone or an irregular bone?

Tarsals and carpals are short bones. Metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges are long bones.


Interstitial bone growth in long bones?

Interstitial bone growth in long bones occurs in the epiphyseal plate, or growth plate, located at the ends of long bones. Here, cartilage cells (chondrocytes) proliferate, differentiate, hypertrophy, and are replaced by bone tissue, leading to longitudinal bone growth. This process is crucial for growth and development in children and adolescents.


Of what four things are bones made?

Almost every bone in your body is made of the same materials:The outer surface of bone is called the periosteum (say: pare-ee-os-tee-um). It's a thin, dense membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels that nourish the bone.The next layer is made up of compact bone. This part is smooth and very hard. It's the part you see when you look at a skeleton.Within the compact bone are many layers of cancellous(say: kan-sell-us) bone, which looks a bit like a sponge. Cancellous bone is not quite as hard as compact bone, but it is still very strong.In many bones, the cancellous bone protects the innermost part of the bone, the bone marrow (say: mair-oh). Bone marrow is sort of like a thick jelly, and its job is to make blood


What primary blood supply to the diaphysis of a long bone is through the?

The primary blood supply to the diaphysis of a long bone is through the nutrient artery, which enters the bone through the nutrient foramen. This artery provides blood to the medullary cavity and inner portions of the bone.

Do flat bones produce red blood cells?

No, flat bones do not produce red blood cells. Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, specifically in the spongy or trabecular bone marrow found in bones like the vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, and long bones. Flat bones, such as the skull, sternum, and scapula, do not have as much active bone marrow for red blood cell production.
