Skeletal anatomy
Across
- 1. where 2 bone surfaces come together
- 3. small spaces between the lamellae that contains mature bone cells
- 5. supplies the shaft
- 11. the end of a long bone
- 12. a fibrous, vascular, sensitive life support covering or sheath for bone
- 13. area of a bone that projects above the surface of a bone
- 16. centric rings of mineral salts and collagen that give bone it’s strengths
- 17. central space in the osteons, containing blood vessels
- 18. appears as tiny beams of bone arranged like a lattice
Down
- 1. found on both ends of long bones
- 2. small openings in the diaphysis where arteries enter bone
- 4. many small canals that run perpendicular to the lamellae
- 6. área of growth in the long bone
- 7. the dense bone found in the diaphysis
- 8. when bone replaces cartilage and longitudinal growth stops
- 9. serves to lighten bone weight and provide space for its marrow
- 10. process of bone development
- 14. the shaft of a long bone
- 15. openings or grooves that allow blood vessels or nerves to enter bone
