BONE & DEGENERATIVE  DISORDERS There are 206 bones diverse in size & shape that have a role in mineral homeostasis, contains hematopoietic elements, determine the body size/shape and provide support for movement and protection. Long bones have - Epiphysis  - Epiphysial plate - Metaphysis  - Diaphysis(shaft) www.freelivedoctor.com
BONE & DEGENERATIVE  DISORDERS Also, a bone shows 2 gross anatomical forms in proportion to a particular function: 1. Compact bone:dense outer shell(cortex) with basic units(osteons) arranged in vertical columns and lamellar structure that contain osteocytes & capillaries forming a haversyan system. 2. Cancellous bone(spongious) arranged in trabecules(osteocytes+osteoblasts+capillaries) along with marrow www.freelivedoctor.com
