Intro to the skeletal system

The broad ends of a long bone are the

• epiphyses

• diaphyses

• fibrous ends

• medullary cavities

Where is articular cartilage found?

• in the intervertebral discs

• the anterior rib cage

• at the ends of long bones

• respiratory passages

The double-layered, tough, fibrous membrane covering a long bone is called:

• periosteum

• endosteum

• the medullary covering

• articular cartilage

The epiphyseal line

• is made up of elastic cartilage

• is in the osteogenic layer

• separates the red and yellow marrow

• is where the growth plate used to be
