Bones that are longer than they are wide; they mainly support the body and help with movement. Example: femur.

Small, roughly cube-shaped bones that provide stability and support. Example: wrist bones.

Thin, flattened bones that often protect internal organs and provide large surfaces for muscle attachment. Example: skull bones and ribs.

Bones with complex or unusual shapes that don't fit the other categories. Example: vertebrae.

The shaft or long middle section of a long bone.

The expanded ends of a long bone.

The region between the diaphysis and epiphysis; it contains the epiphyseal plate/line.

The hollow space inside the diaphysis that contains bone marrow.

Fat-rich marrow found mainly in the medullary cavity of adult long bones; it stores energy.

A tough layer of connective tissue covering the outer surface of bone, except where articular cartilage is present.

Smooth cartilage covering the ends of bones at joints; it reduces friction and absorbs shock.

Lightweight, porous bone found mainly inside bones; it helps reduce weight and absorb forces.

Thin, branching struts or plates of bone that form the structure of spongy bone.

Tissue that produces blood cells.

Dense, hard bone that forms the strong outer layer of most bones.

The basic structural unit of compact bone; also called a Haversian system.

A central canal running through an osteon that contains blood vessels and nerves.

A mature bone cell that maintains bone tissue.

A bone-forming cell that builds new bone.

A bone-resorbing cell that breaks down old or damaged bone.

Tiny channels connecting bone cells (osteocytes) to each other and to blood supply.

Thin layers/rings of bone tissue surrounding the Haversian canal.

A thin membrane that lines the inner surfaces of bone, including the medullary cavity.

A small space or pocket in bone where an osteocyte is located.

Tubes that carry blood, oxygen, nutrients, and waste through bone tissue.

Small branches of arteries that carry blood toward capillaries.

Small vessels that carry blood away from capillaries toward veins.
