osteochondroma A benign cartilaginous neoplasm that consists of a pedicle of normal bone (protruding from the cortex) covered with a rim of proliferating cartilage cells; may originate from any bone that is preformed in cartilage, but is most frequent near the ends of long bones, usually in patients 10-25 years of age; the lesion is frequently not noticed, unless it is traumatized or of large size; multiple osteochondromas are inherited and referred to as hereditary multiple exostoses.

What is the difference between spongey bone and compact bone and where are both found?
The spongy bone is called cartilage, cartilage is found in the nose, ears, ans. Normal bones are your legs, arms ans.
How is cartilage and compact bone alike?
Because they both hold different bones together.
Type of bone tissue that contains marrow?
There are 2 types of bone tissue: Spongy or cancellous bone (head of most large bones, ribs, shoulder blade) and Compact (in the diaphysis or middle part of large bones). Compact bone forms the extremely hard exterior while spongy bone (also called cancellous bone) fills the hollow interior. Within the inside of the long bones is bone marrow.
Why are bones wider at the end and skinnier in the middle?
The ends of our long bones fit into joints. These joints are lined with cartilage (the flexible tissue that makes up your ears and nose), because cartilage is smoother than bone, and allows the joint to move better But cartilage isn't as strong as bone. By having a larger surface area at the bone end, the stresses on the cartilage are spread out over a greater area. (think of how it would take much less force to break the skin with a pin than with a pencil).
Is there Fat in cartilage?
I should think not, fat and cartilage are entirely different body matter. Fat tissue might surround the cartilage present in our body, but they wouldn't be part of the cartilage. Moreover, cartilage is usually found joint areas or at places such our nose and ear areas, both of which do not contain much fat- fats wouldn't be found close to our bone area because usually it would be muscle that is wrapped around our bones, not fat (referring to joint areas), and our ear and nose areas are mainly made up of cartilage and skin (though of course our nose comprises of bone as well).
Is snake skull made of bone or cartilage?

What is the medical term meaning benign growth on the surface of a bone?

A more specific type of benign tumor on the surface of bone is an osteochondroma, made up of both bone and cartilage. Exostosis is another type of bony growth on bone.
Why can you study bone and not cartilage?
Cartilage could be used to hold our selves together but cartilage is actually unformed bone and Cartilage also is very unstable if you bones so to speak were made of cartilage we would highly unstable and unable to walk like a baby almost

Is adipose and cartilage tissue similar?
they both are considered the building blocks of bone.

The resilent substance that keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed?
The articular cartilage is the resilient substance that prevents bone ends from crushing when compressed. Cartilage is both flexible and tough.
What is another scitntific term for bone end?
The cartilage at the end of a long bone is articular cartilage. The end of the humerus is the humeral head. The entire region of a long bones end is the epiphysis and occurs at both ends.
What are two similarities between cartilage and adipose tissue?
Both adipose and bone are connective tissues and both are responsible for for support and protection.
Where are the trochlea and capitulum located?
They form the articular part of the lower end of the humerus bone, both are covered by hyaline cartilage.
