Bones

periosteum:a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
cartilage:firm, whitish, flexible connective tissue found in various forms in the larynx and respiratory tract, in structures such as the external ear, and in the articulating surfaces of joints. It is more widespread in the infant skeleton, being replaced by bone during growth.
joint:a structure in the human or animal body at which two parts of the skeleton are fitted together.
ligament:a short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.
movable joint:A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage and in which some degree of free movement is possible.
immovable joint: A union of two bones by fibrous tissue, such as a syndesmosis or gomphosis, in which there is no joint cavity and little motion is possible.
Synovial fluid: Synovial fluid is normally a thick, straw-colored liquid found in small amounts in joints, bursae (fluid-filled sacs in the joints), and tendon sheaths.
compact bone:compact bone, also called cortical bone, dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces (lacunae) that contain the osteocytes, or bone cells.
spongy bone:cancellous bone, also called trabecular bone or spongy bone, light, porous bone enclosing numerous large spaces that give a honeycombed or spongy appearance.
osteoclasts:a large multinucleate bone cell that absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing.
osteoblasts:a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation.
