7. Periosteum Tough, fibrous connective tissue that covers the bone
Contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves
Acts as an anchor point for tendons and ligaments

Diaphysis - The middle of the bones between the two ends
Epiphysis - the ends of the bones

9. Medullary Cavity Hollow region within the diaphysis
Storage area for bone marrow

10. Bone Marrow Yellow Marrow: high in fat
Can be converted into red bone marrow in emergencies
Red Marrow: produces red blood cells

11. Bone Tissues
Compact bone tissue
Spongy bone tissue

12. Compact Bone Tissue Dense, hard tissue
Composes the stem of long bones and the outer layer of other bones
