Long bone model

On your second lab quiz, I will be using both these models and histology slides. Try to guess what the numbers are. This bone is a cow humerus. I got it so you can see the red and yellow marrow plus the cartilage. What you are missing is the wonderful smell that this bone makes after being out in the lab all day. (note, it is not in reality a nice smell)

Be sure to see the model long bone as well.
