Proximal
- Closer to the body

Distal
- Made of spongy bone
- Covered in articular cartilage, enabling bones to move at the joints without grinding on each other

# data[].attributes.body
The shaft or central part of the long bone

# data[].attributes.body
- Contains red blood cells
- Contains platelets
- Generates blood cells

# data[].attributes.body
- Contains white blood cells
- Contains a high number of fat cells (why it is yellow)

# data[].attributes.body
Central cavity of bone shafts where red / yellow bone marrow is stored

# data[].attributes.body
Enters through nutrient foramen, runs through the cortex, sends brain cells up & down to the marrow & ramifies in the endosteum

# data[].attributes.body
Thin vascular membranes of connective tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones

# data[].attributes.body
- Growth plate
- Lie of hyaline cartilage found in children & adolescents
- Located in the metaphysis at the ends of long bone

# data[].attributes.body
- Dense bone
- Bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance & inorganic salts, leaving tiny spaces that contain osteocytes

# data[].attributes.body
- Bone tissue filled with red bone marrow
- Not as strong as cortical bone
- Important for producing blood cells

# data[].attributes.body
- Smooth white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
- Can be damaged by injury or normal wear & tear

# data[].attributes.body
Dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping bones everywhere except at the surface of joints

# data[].attributes.body
- Narrow portion of a long bone between epiphysis & diaphysis
- Contains growth plate
