  2. Nutrient canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_canal

    The nutrient canal (foramen) is directed away from the growing end of bone. The growing ends of bones in upper limb are upper end of humerus and lower ends of radius and ulna. In lower limb, the lower end of femur and upper end of tibia are the growing ends. [1] The nutrient arteries along with nutrient veins pass through this

  3. Nutrient artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_artery

    The nutrient artery (arteria nutricia, or central artery), usually accompanied by one or two nutrient veins, enters the bone through the nutrient foramen, runs obliquely through the cortex, sends branches upward and downward to the bone marrow, which ramify in the endosteum–the vascular membrane lining the medullary cavity–and give twigs to the adjoining canals.

  4. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    The nutrient artery enters via the nutrient foramen from a small opening in the diaphysis. It invades the primary center of ossification, bringing osteogenic cells (osteoblasts on the outside, osteoclasts on the inside.) The canal of the nutrient foramen is directed away from more active end of bone when one end grows more than the other. When ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femur

    The femur is the largest and thickest bone in the human body. It is considered the strongest bone by some measures, though other studies suggest the temporal bone may be stronger. On average, the femur length accounts for 26.74% of a person's height, [4] a ratio found in both men and women across most ethnic groups with minimal

    A foramen (plural: foramina) is an opening in a bone for the passage of blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and similar entities. [26] Nutrient foramina are openings allowing blood vessels to enter the inside of bones to enable nutrient supply to the bone. [25]: 224 frontal

  7. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    Organisms in the dinosauria clade are defined by a perforate acetabulum, which can be thought of as a "hip-socket". The perforate acetabulum is a cup-shaped opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts.
