Across
- 2. bone very tightly packed tissue, which makes up the wall of the diaphysis
- 5. varied shape; vertebrae
- 7. arm and leg bones
- 8. plate-like shape with a broad surface
- 10. nodular bone that develops with a tendon
- 13. located within chambers called lacunae

- 1. matrix bone mainly consist mainly of collagen and inorganic salts
- 3. osteocytes pass nutrients and gases through the matrix via tiny canals
- 4. in compact bone, lacunae lie in concentric circles of matrix
- 6. marrow medullary cavity is filled with a special type of connective tissue
- 9. the shaft of the bone
- 11. wrist and ankle bones
