The Skeleton

Functions

  • Support
  • Protection
  • Movement/leverage
  • Mineral and lipid storage
  • Hemopoiesis and storage

Parts of a bone

  • Diaphysis: shaft of the long bone
  • Epipyhsis: end parts of the long bone
  • Meaphysis: contains growth plate
  • Spongy bone: soft inner part
  • Compact bone: surrounds the spongy bone; denser
  • Medullary cavity: stores bone marrow
