Bone Anatomy

Gross Anatomy

|Part |What it is or does |What is is made of |

| |Shaft or length\of bone | |

| |Hard membrane covering that protects the |Fibrous Connective tissue membrane |

| |bone | |

|Sharpey’s Fibers (perforating fibers) | |Connective Tissue fibers |

| |The ends of a long bone |Spongy bone covered by compact bone |

|Articular cartilage |Covering at the ends of long bones | |

| |decreasing friction | |

| | | |

|Epiphyseal Line | |Hyaline cartilage that has been replaced by bone |

| | | |

|Epiphyseal Plate | |Hyaline cartilage |

| | | |

| |Adults = stores adipose (fat) tissue. |Opening in the shaft of the bone |

| |Infants= red marrow for making blood | |

Gross Anatomy

|Part |What it is |What is is made of |

|Diaphysis |Shaft or length\of bone |Compact Bone |

|Periosteum |Hard membrane covering that protects the |Fibrous Connective tissue membrane |

| |bone | |

|Sharpey’s Fibers (perforating fibers) |Holds periosteum to the bone |Connective Tissue fibers |

|Epiphysis |The ends of a long bone |Spongy bone covered by compact bone |

|Articular cartilage |Covering at the ends of long bones |Glassy hyaline cartilage |

| |decreasing friction | |

|Epiphyseal Line |Bony tissue spanning epiphysis |Hyaline cartilage that has been replaced by bone |

|Epiphyseal Plate |Causes lengthwise growth in young bones |Hyaline cartilage |

|Medullary Cavity |Adults = stores adipose (fat) tissue. |Opening in the shaft of the bone |

|Or Yellow Marrow Cavity |Infants= red marrow for making blood | |

|Bone markings |Holes, ridges, bumps or rough parts |Sites of muscle, tendon or ligament attachment. |

| | |passageways for nerves / blood vessels |
