Introduction to the Skeletal System
Across
- 4. Shaft of a long bone
- 5. Dense bone tissue in which cells are organized in osteons without apparent spaces - cortical bone
- 6. Bone that begins as hyaline cartilage that is subsequently replaced by bone tissue
- 7. Cell that breaks down bone matrix
- 8. Branching bony plate that separates irregular spaces within spongy bone
- 9. Mature bone cell
- 13. Dense connective tissue covering the surface of a bone
Down
- 1. Cavity containing red or yellow marrow within the diaphysis of a long bone
- 2. Hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones in synovial joints
- 3. bone that consists of bars and plates separated by irregular spaces - cancellous bone
- 10. Either end of a long bone
- 11. Any of the small canals through which the blood vessels ramify in bone
