Epiphyseal plates are temporary and become synostoses o Symphyses are designed for strength with flexibility o Fibrocartilage is compressible, acts as a shock absorber Synovial Joints Common features of synovial joints: o Articular cartilage (one on each bone) o Hyaline cartilage reduces friction o Joint cavity (space between bones – “potential space”)…
Describe the location, composition and function of the epiphyseal plate. Located in the metaphysis where the bone forms an articulation with another bone, composed of hyaline cartilage, reduces fiction and absorbs shock at freely movable joints.…

epiphyseal plate: located in the metaphysis, composed of hyaline cartilage, is the growth plate; articular cartilage: covers the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation with another bone, composed of hyaline cartilage, reduces fiction and absorbs shock at freely movable joints; periosteum: surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage, is a sheath of dense irregular connective tissue containing osteoblasts, functions to protect the bone, assists in fracture repair, nourishes bone tissue, and serve as an attachment point for ligaments and tendons…
Mesenchyme is developed into hyaline cartilage. The perichondrium that covers the mesenchyme produces chondrocytes. Chondrocytes…

Two types: 1. Synchondroses 1. Bar/plate of hyaline cartilage unites bones 1. Temporary epiphyseal plate joints 2. Cartilage of 1st rib with manubrium 2.…
All these classifications are especially different but two of them are somewhat similar; being the long and short bones. The long bone is not classified by its shape it is base on length and width. For a bone to be a long bone the length has to be greater than its width; they also have a shaft and two ends as well. Long bones include all limb bones except the patella and the wrist…
The composition of bone mostly consist of inorganic material and collagen fibers. The macroscopic structures of bone is Compact bone, Cancellous bone, Epiphysis, Diaphysis, Periosteum, Red bone marrow, yellow bone marrow, and the articular cartilage (Doitpoms.com). Collagen is a triple helix structured protein that is the most prominent protein in the skeletal system. Bones consist of two distinct types of bone tissue such as cancellous and cortical bone. Cancellous bone is also known as spongy bone and is located at the ends of long bones with a honeycomb like internal structure. Compact bone is the shaft of the bone and has is very dense layer that surrounds the bone marrow cavity. Compact bone is considered the strongest part of the bone while cancellous bone is the weakest part of the bone.…
Bones are composed of two types of tissue. 1. A hard outer layer called cortical (compact) bone, which is strong, dense and tough.…

The adult skeletal system is made up of 206 bone. Each serving a vital role within the body such as storing minerals, producing red/white blood cells, providing support, allowing movement and protecting the internal organs of the body. The bones that make up our skeletal system are course and can withstand the rigorous pressure and strain we impose on them through everyday life. Although our bones are made to withstand these types of strains sometimes too much pressure is placed upon our bones due to a fall, striking of an object, bending or twisting of the bone or simply old age. (Oak, 2012) Any of these circumstances can result in what we call a bone fracture.…
Spiral fractures are when one part of the bone is twisted. If the bone is partially bent and partially broken it is called greenstick. Colles’ fracture is a fracture of the wrist. If you have a break and the fragments are greater than the fracture it is called unstable. An oblique fracture is when the point of break is diagonal to the bones axis.…
