Periosteum
Covers and protects the diaphysis. Is a fibrous connective tissue membrane.
Epiphysis
End of a long bone. Consists of a thin layer of compact bone enclosing an area filled with spongy bone.
Yellow marrow
Cavity of the shaft is primarily a storage area for fat tissue.
Red marrow
Confined to the cavities of spongy bones that produce red blood cells.

Shoulder and hip joints are examples of this type of joint
Slightly movable
Ribs and spine are examples of this type of joint
Immovable
Skull would be an example of this type of joint

Fibrous capsule
Encloses movable joints
Articular cartilage
