Across
  1. 2. smooth, glassy, white hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
  2. 3. forms the hard, dense outer layer of bones
  3. 5. resorption of mineralized bone by osteoclasts followed by replacement of bone matrix by osteoblasts
  4. 9. mature bone cells
  5. 12. bones that do not fit in the other categories
  6. 16. matrix of connective tissue consisting of bundles of strong collagenous fibers that secure the periosteum to the underlying bone
  7. 17. bone
  8. 18. space housing the osteocytes
  9. 19. series of microscopic tubes running lengthwise in compact bone; house nerve and capillaries; aka central canals
  10. 21. bones that form the longitudinal axis of the bone; the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
  11. 24. marrow composed of adipose tissue and stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells
  12. 27. bones of the limbs (arms, hands, legs, and feet) and girdles (shoulders, pelvic)
  13. 30. fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers and protected the diaphysis
  14. 31. shaft of the bone (length): composed of compact bone
Down
  1. 1. channels that assist with blood and nerve supply from the periosteum to the Haversian canal
  2. 4. tiny canals that radiate outward from the central canal to all lacunae; connects all bone cells to the nutrient supply through the hard bone matrix
  3. 6. bones generally cubed shaped; contain mostly spongy bone
  4. 7. bumps, holes, and ridges that have scarred the surfaces of bone
  5. 8. natural process with bone formation
  6. 10. flat plate of hyaline cartilage; main location for longitudinal bone growth; aka growth plate
  7. 11. cavity in the shaft of a long bone; stores yellow marrow
  8. 13. concentric rings of lacunae that surrounds the Haversian canals
  9. 14. ossified epiphyseal plate
  10. 15. structural basic unit of adult compact bone consisting of a Haversian canal with its lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes, and canaliculi
  11. 20. giant bone-destroying cells; one of two bone remodeling units
  12. 22. bone forming cells; one of two bone remodeling units
  13. 23. thin, flattened, and usually curved bones
  14. 25. bones that are typically longer than their width
  15. 26. bone found at the ends of long bones; composed of porous needlelike pieces of bone
  16. 28. ends of the lone bones
  17. 29. marrow composed of soft spongy tissue that contain blood stem cells that become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets
