Skeletal System
Across
- 4. process where adult bone can change in density, strength, and sometimes shape
- 6. a Haversian system
- 10. major passageways running in the direction of the length of long bones, providing paths for blood vessels
- 11. process of bone formation
- 12. stronger bones
- 16. interior spongy bone with a porous, honeycomb structure
- 17. central hollow in the long bones
- 18. material with a rich blood supply found within the marrow cavity of long bones
- 19. weaker bones
- 20. build bone tissue
Down
- 1. change in diameter
- 2. large canals that connect the Haversian canals
- 3. includes canals, canaliculi, lacunae, forming transportation matrix to supply blood and remove waste
- 5. tiny cavities around Haversian canals
- 7. surrounds and protects the shaft of long bones
- 8. the shaft of the long bone
- 9. the bulbous end of the long bone
- 13. mature bone cells
- 14. dense, solid primarily found in the long bone
- 15. break down bone tissue
