Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.
Endosteum is a thin membrane that lines the inner surface of bones and contains bone-forming cells, while compact bone is a dense and hard outer layer of bone that provides strength and support. Compact bone is composed of tightly packed osteons, which are the structural units of bone tissue, while endosteum is involved in bone remodeling and repair processes.
No, Cranium is around the Brain, and the sternum is the middle of your chest cavity.
The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
The medical term for the end region of a long bone is the epiphysis. It is responsible for bone growth and connects to the shaft of the bone through the metaphysis.
After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
Dense irregular connective tissue can be found in the periosteum, which is the outermost layer of the bone. It helps to protect the bone and provide support by anchoring tendons and ligaments to the bone surface.
The growth plate of a long bone is located at the end of the bone, near the joint. It is also known as the epiphyseal plate and is responsible for longitudinal growth during childhood and adolescence.
The periosteum is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and serves as a point of attachment for ligaments and tendons.
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
Periosteum is the type of bone that covers the surface of every bone in the body. It is a dense layer of vascular connective tissue that provides nourishment and serves as a protective layer for bones.
The long bone consists of the epiphysis and diaphysis. The epiphysis is the end part of the long bone and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. In the shaft of the long bone, there is yellow bone marrow which stores fat in adults and produces white blood cells. In the end parts of the long bone is red bone marrow which makes red blood cells. On one end of the long bone, where there is the joint, it is covered with smooth cartilage. Surrounding the outer surface of the bone is a tough membrane called periosteum. Just beneath the membrane and above the bone tissue is compact bone tissue.
Appositional growth of a long bone results in an increase in diameter and strength of the bone. It occurs at the outer surface of the bone where new bone tissue is added, while the inner bone tissue is reabsorbed to maintain its shape and structure. This type of growth helps to support the body and accommodate increased mechanical stresses.
Periosteum. The periosteum is a dense fibrous membrane that surrounds the outer surface of bones and is responsible for generating new bone tissue, contributing to the growth in thickness of long bones.
periosteum : tough fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the diaphysis. this protects the bone and serves as a point of attachment.
You have two types of bone in each bone. You have compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is the hard stuff that protects the yellow marrow (this stores fat) in the long part of your bone. Spongy bone is still hard, but it is a bit more forgiving because it is not solid bone. It has holes in it (thus the name). These holes are filled with your red marrow (these make red blood cells).
On the outer surface of the compact bone is a layer of connective tissue.
