Region between diaphysis(the shaft/middle part)and epiphysis (end portion) in children which is responsible for longitudinal bone growth.
Back
Card 7
Front
Fibrous protein in bones that provides strength
Back
Card 8
Front
Keeps bone hard and strong, stored in bones
Back
Card 9
Front
Thin layer of glassy-smooth cartilage that is quite spongy, occurs at the epiphysis
Back
Card 10
Front
Space within a synovial joint that contains synovial fluid
Back
Card 11
Front
When a joint is compressed synovial fluid seeps out of this type of cartilage to reduce friction between the caritilages. the fluid is reabsorbed into this cartilage. (weeping lubrication theory)
Back
Card 12
Front
Provides cushioning between the fibrous capsule and a bone or muscle...'Pad of...'
Back
Card 13
Front
Wedge of white fibrocartilage that improves the fit between adjacent bone ends, improves joint stability, reduces wear and tear of cartilage
Back
Card 14
Front
Flattened fibrous sac lines with synovial fluid that contains a thin film of synovial fluid, its function is to prevent friction at sites in the body where ligaments, tendons, muscles or bones might rub together
Back
Card 15
Front
This joint has a band of strong fibrous tissue, a slippery fluid that is contained in the joint cavity, Gassy-smooth cartilage that is spongy and covers the ends of the bones in the joint. A tough fibrous tissue that has two layers.
