Many folded inner membranes on the mitochondria that provide a large surface area for the many embedded enzymes involved with aerobic metabolism (production of large amounts of ATP).
What is Cristae
100
Referred to trabecular or cancellous bone tissue, does not contain osteons and is located in the interior of a bone.
What is Spongy Bone
100
It forms a thin film over the surfaces within the articular capsule. Its function includes reducing friction by lubricating the joints, absorbing shocks, and supplying oxygen and nutrients to, and removing carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from chondrocytes within the articular cartilage.
What is Synovial Fluid
100
Bones of the upper and lower limbs (extremities) and the bones forming the girdles that connect the limbs to the axial skeleton.
What is Appendicular Skeleton
100
Also called the hypodermis, this layer of skin is located underneath the dermis.
What is Subcutaneous (Subq) Layer
200
The nucleus of a cell contains one or more of these structures that are the site of production of ribosomes.
What is Nucleolus
200
The strongest of bone tissue, this bone contains few spaces, is found beneath the periosteum and makes up for the bulk of the diaphysis of long bones.
What is Compact Bones
200
Crescent-shaped pads of fibrocartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the bones and are attached to the fibrous capsule.
What is Menisci
200
Skull bones, auditory ossicles (ear bones), hyoid bone, ribs, sternum (breastbone), and bones of the vertebral column.
What is the Axial Skeleton
200
Cells contribute to skin color.
What is Melanocytes
Daily Double: How do melanocytes contribute to skin color?

300
Saclike structures strategically situated to alleviate friction in some joints.
What is Bursae
300
The hollow space within diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow and numerous blood vessels in adults.
What is the Medullary Cavity
300
Type of sweat gland located mainly in hairy skin.
What is Apocrine
