Bone Anatomy Quiz

What is the function of the epiphyseal plate?

What is the composition of the fibrous layer of periosteum?

What type of cartilage caps the epiphysis?

What is the function of osteoblasts in the bone?

Epiphysis- The ______ of the long bones These portions grew separately from the shaft when you were a baby! Epiphyseal Plate- AKA the growth plate. Where new bone growth takes place When you stop growing, the cartilage is replaced with bone creating the epiphyseal line.

Diaphysis- the ______ of a long bone Cartilage- Hyaline cartilage caps the epiphysis AKA articular cartilage Foramen- A hole that exists in bone to allow blood vessels and nerves through Periosteum-Bone skin... 2 Layers Fibrous layer- Dense irregular connective tissue (collagen) Where Muscle attaches to bone Vascularized. It is also has nerves to sense pain when the tissue is damaged. Osteogenic Layer- Osteogenic= bone creating. Contains Osteoblasts, which are cells responsible for making the extracellular matrix of bone
