Illustration of bone structure. At the top of the bone is the proximal epiphysis with a cross-section showing spongy bone at the center, going further out to include nutrient arteries, compact bone and articular cartilage. The diaphysis is next going down the bone and the cross-section shows yellow bone marrow at the center surrounded by periosteum and endosteum, with nutrient arteries going through the periosteum.
