- dense bone that is usually found in the diaphyses of long bones
Term
Medullary Cavity
Definition
- the hollow part of the lone bone shaft for nutrient storage, etc
Term
Endochondral Ossification
Definition
- how long bones are made
a) Mesenchymal cells differentiate to form cartilaginous centres of ossification
b) this allows osteoblasts to come in and begin building the bone structure
Term
Intermembranous Ossification
Definition
-Mesenchymal cells produce osteoblasts. Osteocytes help along the metabolic processes. No cartilage is used in this type of ossification
Term

Definition
1. Syndesmosis (ligament attachments)

2. Symphysis (secondary joint)- vetrebrae
Term
Functions and types of synovial joints
Definition
