5. Blood cell formation: Occurs in bone marrow
8. Bone Tissue
• Compact Bone: Contains haversiancanals that
carry blood vessels surrounded by concentric
rings of matrix that contains osteocytes in
lacunae
9. Bone Tissue
• Compact Bone: Contains haversiancanals that
carry blood vessels surrounded by concentric
rings of matrix that contains osteocytes in
lacunae
• Spongy Bone: Less dense than compact bone.
Contains thin columns of bone tissue
surrounded by small, irregular cavities. The
cavities are filled with red bone marrow,
which forms red and white blood cells.
11. Parts of a long bone
1. Diaphysis: cylindrical main portion of a bone.
Made of compact bone
12. Parts of a long bone
1. Diaphysis: cylindrical main portion of a bone.
Made of compact bone
2. Epiphyses: Enlarged ends of the bone. Thin
layer of compact bone filled with spongy
bone

3. Articularcartilage: Thin layer of hyaline
cartilage covering the epiphysis. Reduces
friction at joints
