Accepted Answer

The articular cartilage covers the surface of the epiphysis of a long bone, providing a smooth surface for joint movement. Red bone marrow is found in the spongy bone of some long bones and produces blood cells. Trabeculae are the branching structures within spongy bone that provide support. Fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs and some other joints, providing cushioning and shock absorption.
