Ligaments

Extracellular matrix is made up primarily of collagen, so is flexible but very tough and holds bones together.

Tendons

Extracellular matrix is made up of osteiod

Cartilage

Extracellular matrix is made up of collagen and water-holding

molecules for cushioning joints.

Bone

Attach muscles to bones.

Each long bone consists of a shaft, called the ​ (a)   anda(n) ​​​ (b)   at each end of the bone. A long bone that is stillgrowing has a(n) ​ ​ (c)   , composed of cartilage, between each epiphysis and the diaphysis. When bone growth stops, the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, and is called the ​ (d)   . The large cavity in the diaphysis is called the ​ (e)   .

The medullary cavity and other spaces are filled with soft tissue called​ (a)   . Yellow marrow consists mostly of ​ fat , whereas red marrow consists of ​ (b)   cells. Most of the outer surface of the bone is covered by a connective tissue membrane called the ​​ (c)   , which contains blood vessels and nerves. The medullary cavity is lined with a thinner connective tissue membrane, the ​ (d)   . The periosteum and endosteum contain ​ (e)   , which function in the formation, repair, and remodeling of bone.

Bone is formed in thin sheets of extracellular matrix called

osteocytes are located within spaces called ​ (c)   . Cell processes

extend from the osteocytes across the extracellular matrix of the

lamellae within tiny canals called ​ (d)   .

Most of the lamellae of compact bone are organized into sets of concentric rings with each set surrounding a ​ (a)   . Within the central canal are ​ (b)   that run parallel to the long axis of the bone. Each central canal with the lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it, is called a(n) ​ (c)   . The osteocytes are connected to each other by cell processes located in ​ (d)   . Blood vessels in the ​ (e)   supply blood to vessels in the central canal.

Cancellous (spongy) bone consists of delicate interconnecting rods or plates of bone called ​​ (a)   . The spaces between the trabeculae are filled with ​ (b)   . Each trabecula consists of several lamellae, with ​ (c)   between the lamellae. Usually no ​ (d)   penetrate the trabeculae, and the trabeculae have no

central canals. Nutrients pass by diffusion through the ​ (e)   to the osteocytes of the trabeculae.
