Human Femur Bone

Human Femur (right, ventral view). Prepared for AE histology practical on bone formation based on images from Gray's Anatomy and UNSW histology slide set.

  • Diaphysis - shaft
  • Epiphysis - expanded ends
  • Metaphysis - connecting region (between diaphysis and epiphysial line)
  • Medullary Cavity - (marrow) cavity within the bone. Can also be identified as either red or yellow marrow.
