Major Parts of Long Bones | Compact & Spongy Bone Histology

The video tutorial explores the physiology of osseous tissue, focusing on the skeletal system and long bones. It explains the characteristics and regions of long bones, including the epiphyses, diaphysis, and metaphysis. The tutorial also covers the layers of long bones, such as the periosteum and endosteum, and the types of bone tissue, including compact and spongy bone. Additionally, it discusses the role of articular cartilage in joint protection and provides a microscopic examination of bone tissues.
