<strong>The</strong> <strong>Appendicular</strong> <strong>Skeleton</strong><br />

C. Long Bone in Longitudinal Section<br />

In addition to looking at various bones of the appendicular skeleton, you<br />

should take a look at a longitudinal section of the humerus or other long<br />

bone. This section will enable you to see the medullary (marrow) cavity,<br />

spongy and compact bone, and other features. On Figure 3–1, match<br />

the numbers to the appropriate parts of the bone. Some of the features (e.g.<br />

marrow and cartilage) can only be seen in fresh bone, and are not present<br />

in the dry bones that are available in the lab.<br />
