Study Notes
Bone Tissue Functions
- Bone tissue provides support, protection, and movement
Types of Bones
- There are four main types of bones: long, short, flat, and irregular bones
Long Bone Structure
- A long bone consists of a diaphysis (shaft), epiphysis (ends), and metaphysis (growth plate)
- The diaphysis is the correct term for the shaft of a long bone
- The growth plate, or metaphysis, is the area between the epiphysis and diaphysis in growing bones
Cartilage and Bone Membranes
- Articular cartilage reduces friction between bones at joints
- The endosteum is the membrane that lines the medullary cavity
- The periosteum is the membrane that covers bones
Bone Development and Remodeling
- Osteogenesis is the correct term for the process of bone formation
- Osteoremodeling is the correct term for the process of bone remodeling
