EPIPHYSEAL DISC – 1
The image is of a histological section of the knee and shows its main components:
– the epiphyses of the two bones involved in the knee joint, formed mostly by hyaline cartilage, as they are bones from very young animals.
– the meniscus located between the two epiphyses.
– the diaphysis of one of the bones.
– a joint capsule that lines the joint and helps hold the bones in position.
– striated skeletal muscle surrounding the bone.
– a band of different colors called the epiphyseal disc stands out between the epiphysis and the diaphysis.
