Associated CT Periosteum covers outer surface of bone
Endosteum covers inner surface of bone and contains osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts

Function: secures blood vessels and nerves; growth & repair; attaches surrounding CT

Metaphysis "union"
Adults- spongy
Juveniles- hyaline cartilage (allow for growing)

Function: site of bone growth

Found: area where epiphysis and diaphysis come together

Diaphysis AKA shaft of bone
long, slightly curved region
Mostly compact
Yellow marrow in meduallary cavity
Areolar and adipose tissue

Function: support for blood vessel and energy storage

Found: between ends

Epiphysis AKA head of bone
Mostly spongy (thin covering of compact)
Filled with red bone marrow & blood stem cells

Function: strength and lightness

Found: ends of long bones

Characteristics of Spongy Bone Fills ends of long bones
Resists stress in multiple directions
Trebeculae brace bones from within
Align along stress lines
"Lightens the load"

Characteristics of Compact Bone Thickness based on physical stress
Contours shaped by external physical forces
Found on surface of ALL bones
Periosteum absent in joint
Articular cartilage (hyaline)
Osteon (parallel to long axis of shaft, and to longitudinal force)
