Periosteum - The tough outermost layer of the bone., Bone Marrow - Soft and spongy tissue found within bones., Bone minerals - They are essential in bone creation and reabsorption of bone tissue, Epiphysis - The rounded end of the bone, it commonly forms an articulation or joint with another bone., Diaphysis - The central shaft or long part of the bone., Growth/Epiphysial Plate - A disc of cartilage found at the end of each long bone of children and adolescents and responsible for the bone growth. It separates the diaphysis from the epiphysis and is the only place where an increase in bone length can take place. 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,
