Bone Physiology

Structure #2 is the 

• medullary cavity
• periosteum
• epiphysis
• diaphysis

Structure #5 is the 

• medullary cavity
• periosteum
• epiphysis
• diaphysis

The shiny white substance at #8 is the 

• articular cartilage
• periosteum
• yellow marrow
• diaphysis

Periosteum

• the membrane lining the bone cavity
• the tough membrane covering the shaft of the bone
• the shiny, articulating cartilage on the ends of a bone
• the blood vessels inside a bone

Where are blood cells made? 

• Yellow marrow 
• Red marrow
• Spongy Bone 
• Periosteum

Spongy bone would primarily be found where in a bone?

• diaphysis
• epiphysis
• periosteum
• endosteum

Structure C

• yellow bone marrow
• diaphysis
• periosteum
• growth plate (growth line)

The production of blood cells is called

• homeostasis
• hematopoiesis
• hemostasis
• homologous

The shaft of the bone is also called the

• epiphysis
• diaphysis
• endosteum
• periosteum

The hardest, most dense part of the bone tissue is the

• periosteum
• spongy bone
• osteoblast
• compact bone
