Once growing stops it is replaced by an epiphyseal line , Cancellous/spongy bone - The spongy bone found within the ends (epiphysis) of long bones. The cancellous bone has a honeycomb appearance and provides space for the red bone marrow inside the bone structure. , Compact/cortical bone - The hard tissue surrounding the bone, Articular Cartilage - The ends of long bones are covered with this, allowing bones to move over each other with minimum friction, Medullary Cavity - The space in a bone where marrows is stored, Blood vessel - Provides blood to the bone,
