Condyles/knobs: form due to tendons/ligaments pulling on the bone. Articular cartilage: covers ends of bone attaching or articulating with another bone. Periosteum: thin tissue covering the compact parts of the bone. ***two types of osseous tissue: compact bone, spongy (cancellous) bone: cavities are filled with red bone marrow for rbc production.

Gigantism: condition resulting in the overproduction of growth hormone = extremely tall. Marfan"s syndrome: defective production of glycoprotein (ct), results in extreme height with slender limbs.
