  3. 9. The expanded end of long bones.
  4. 10. A dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
  5. 12. Former osteoblasts that become surrounded by unmineralized matrix
  6. 13. A thin layer of specialized connective tissue with unique viscoelastic properties.
  7. 16. a small bone that is commonly found embedded within a muscle or tendon near joint surfaces. EX: Patella
  8. 17. A dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled.
  9. 18. A bone made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. EX: Sternum
Down
  1. 1. Cells that degrade bone.
  2. 2. Bones that are shaped roughly as a cube and contain mostly spongy bone. EX: Carpal bones

  4. 5. The site where the bone grows in length.
  5. 6. Shaft of a long bone
