Skeletal System

4. cartilage that helps the bones move smoothly past each other
6. Ossification, involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bony tissue
9. concentric plates that gives the compact bone its rigidity and hardness
11. site of spongy bone; responsible for articulation; long bone
13. mature bone cell; found in or near the lacunae; they develop extensive processes that rub through the canaliculi
14. cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
15. freely movable within bone limitations; ex: hip, shoulder
16. skeleton that is the principal supportive structure of the body; includes the skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and hyoid bone.
18. bone type that that is generally more flat then round
19. Plates, also known as growth plates
20. Marrow, composed of red and white blood cells and is found in bones
21. cylindrical units that run along compact bones to help support and strengthen the bone while also repairing and remodeling bone tissue; also known as the Haversian System

1. bones that fill in cracks; mixed with fibrous tissue and cartilage
2. bone cell that rebuilds, repairs, and dissolves bone
3. site of compact bone; long bone; provides attachments for muscles
5. provides housing to the cells and keeps them alive and functional; encase osteocytes
7. young/immature bone cell; found near the bone surface; secretes organic substances of the matrix
8. any hole in your bone
10. skeleton that makes movement for the upper and lower limbs including arms, wrists, forearms, hands, thighs, legs, and feet
12. fibrous sheath for bones which provides a source of bone cells
17. joint movement that permits movement in only one direction; ex: ankle and elbow
