Appearance and function

Femur and radius Extended in one direction Provides support

Do not have meridal cavity Provides cushioning between long bones to absorb shock In wrist and ankle

Expanded in two directions Provides protection Pelvis,scapula,ribs,skull

Shaped like a sesameed seed

Has air filled cavity Associated with sinuses

Vertebrae Found in sites for protection

Not as dense as bone Made up of chondrocytes Not good blood flow

Gives support Provides coverings on enols of bones

Small nests of chondrocytes surrounded by a matrix of collagen fibers Glossy, bluish in gross appearance Example, rib to sternum
