Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sharpey fibers are collagen fibers that anchor the tendons and ligaments to the bone matrix, thereby strengthening their attachment. The growth plate (A) is a cartilaginous region in developing bone, the epiphysis (B) is the rounded end of a long bone where it articulates with another bone, the medullary cavity (D) is the central cavity of a long bone filled with bone marrow, and the endosteum (E) is the membrane that lines the medullary cavity and covers the trabeculae of spongy bone.
