 3. 

The area that serves as a storage area for fat in adults is indicated by letter __________.
 

 4. 

The diaphysis is indicated by letter __________.
 

 5. 

The periosteum, a connective tissue covering on the diaphysis, is represented by letter __________.
 

 6. 

The area that contains glassy hyaline cartilage that provides a smooth slippery surface which decreases friction is indicated by letter __________.
 

 7. 

Yellow marrow is a storage area for ________________________.
 

 8. 

The type of fiber connecting the periosteum to the underlying bone are called __________.
 

 9.
