Across
- 4. Cells that form bone tissue.
- 8. Made mostly of fat and contains stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells.
- 9. The expanded end of long bones.
- 10. A dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
- 12. Former osteoblasts that become surrounded by unmineralized matrix
- 13. A thin layer of specialized connective tissue with unique viscoelastic properties.
- 16. a small bone that is commonly found embedded within a muscle or tendon near joint surfaces. EX: Patella
- 17. A dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled.
- 18. A bone made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. EX: Sternum
Down
- 1. Cells that degrade bone.
- 2. Bones that are shaped roughly as a cube and contain mostly spongy bone. EX: Carpal bones
- 3. A membrane lining the inner surface of the bony wall
- 5. The site where the bone grows in length.
- 6. Shaft of a long bone
- 7. Bones that vary in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category. EX: Vertebra
- 11. Your body's central framework. It consists of bones and connective tissue.
- 14. A joint or juncture between bones or cartilages in the skeleton of a vertebrate.
- 15. A bone that has a shaft and 2 ends and is longer than it is wide. EX: Femur
