Bone Tissue Review
Across
- 4. A fracture in which the bone shatters into multiple pieces.
- 6. The epiphyseal plate layer that anchors the plate to the epiphysis.
- 8. The rounded end of a long bone where red marrow may be located.
- 9. The principle that bone adapts to the stresses placed upon it.
- 10. A type of bone shape that doesn’t fit into other categories, like vertebrae.
- 11. The bone cell responsible for building new bone tissue.
- 12. Structural units of compact bone arranged in concentric circles like tree rings.
- 14. Type of ossification where bone develops from a sheet of mesenchyme.
- 15. A bone formed within a tendon to protect a joint; the patella is an example.
- 16. Bone formation that begins with a cartilage model, common in long bones.
- 17. A bone shape with two compact layers and a spongy center, like the skull or ribs.
- 18. Horizontal channels that allow blood vessels to enter compact bone.
- 19. Condition of having too much calcium in the blood, causing sluggish nerves.
- 20. A fracture where the bone bends and cracks, common in children.
Down
- 1. The process of adding calcium salts to make hard bone tissue.
- 2. A type of bone fracture that runs straight across the bone.
- 3. Lattice-like bone spicules that make up spongy bone.
- 5. Zone where cartilage cells divide and contribute to bone length.
- 7. The process of blood cell formation, primarily occurring in red bone marrow.
- 13. Region in the growth plate where matrix hardens and chondrocytes die.
