Across
  1. 1. provide attachment sites for tendons and ligaments
  2. 4. The medullary cavity is filled with a type of connective tissue
  3. 12. the process of bone formation
  4. 16. A tough layer of dense connective tissue
  5. 17. The diaphysis contains a hollow chamber
  6. 19. Lamellae are deposited around a cylindrical tube
  7. 20. covers the epiphyses
  8. 21. bone consists mainly of collagen and inorganic salts
  9. 22. Bones act with muscles to cause movement of limbs and other body parts
  10. 24. long with expanded ends
  11. 25. located within chambers
  12. 27. form from a hyaline cartilage mode
  13. 29. A band of hyaline cartilage
Down
  1. 2. consists of many branching bony plates
  2. 3. The shaft of the bone
  3. 5. plate-like shape with broad surface
  4. 6. very tightly packed tissue, which makes up the wall of the diaphysis
  5. 7. Expanded ends of bones that form joints with adjacent bones
  6. 8. In compact bone, lacunae lie in concentric circles of matrix
  7. 9. made up of several types of tissues
  8. 10. varied shape
  9. 11. The medullary cavity is lined with a thin layer of cells
  10. 12. Bone cells
  11. 13. contain blood vessels and nerve fibers
  12. 14. vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption
  13. 15. Osteoclasts resorb and osteoblasts deposit bone throughout life
  14. 18. bony plates
  15. 23. Osteocytes pass nutrients and gases through the matrix via tiny canals
  16. 26. almost equal in length and width
  17. 28. osteocytes and extracellular matrix layers are organized into
