Skeletal Tissue
This type of bone tissue is the harder, outer tissue of bones.
Compact tissue
The central artery also known as the ________ enters bone through a foramen and branches into a number of smaller arteries and arterioles to supply adult bone with blood.
nutrient artery
This is the shaft (main long portion) of a long bone
Diaphysis

This is a fully formed mature bone cell.
This type of skeletal tissue is a tough, flexible tissue that lines joints and gives structure to the body.
Cartilage
This is also known as the bone marrow cavity.
The medullary cavity.
This is a part of a bone separated from the main body of the bone by a layer of cartilage.
Epiphysis
This type of bone cell is responsible for forming bone tissue and regulating calcium and phosphorus.
Osteoblast
This type of skeletal tissue is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and often serves to hold structures together and keep them stable
Ligament
This type of bone marrow is made mostly of fat and contains stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells
Yellow Bone Marrow
This is the transitional zone at which the diaphysis and epiphysis of a bone come together.
Metaphysis
These bone cells primary function is the dissolution and absorption of bone. These cells are responsible for the breakdown and rebuilding bone shape and structure.
Osteoclast
This type of bone tissue is also referred to as spongy tissue.
Cancellous tissue

This type of osteogenesis is also known as fetal ossification.
This is a fibrous sheath on the outer layer, that covers bones.
Periosteum
These bone cells are stem cells in bones that assist in bone repair and growth. These cells are the precursors to more specialized bone cells osteocytes and osteoblasts, and reside in the bone marrow.
Osteogenic cells
This type of bone tissue is the smooth tissue at the ends of bones, which is covered with cartilage.
Subchondral tissue
Red bone marrow is found in this type of bone tissue.
Cancellous (spongy) bone tissue
This is a membrane lining the inner surface of the bony wall which serves as the lining of the bone marrow cavity.
Endosteum
This type of bone cell is found in bone marrow, its function is to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Hematopoietic bone cells
