Protects the ends of bones from wearing down

• periosteum

• red marrow

• articular cartilage

• proximal epiphysis

Enters and exits bone through the nutrient foramen.

• spongy bone

• blood vessel

• red marrow

• distal epiphysis

Full of red marrow

• medullary cavity

• compact bone

• periosteum

• spongy bone

How newly made blood cells leave the bone (not the hole)

• blood vessel

• Nutrient foramen

• Distal epiphysis

• endosteum

The knobby end of your femur at the "hip end"

• diaphysis

• proximal epiphysis

• distal epiphysis

• epiphysis

The long shaft in the middle of the bone

• red marrow

• medullary cavity

• diaphysis

• spongy bone

Makes up the diaphysis and outside of long bone

• epiphyseal plate

• spongy bone

• compact bone

• blood vessel

Site of hematopoiesis

• yellow marrow
