Down
- 1. the area of growth in a bone
- 2. tissue that has osteons and is the strongest form of bone tissue and contains blood vessels
- 3. the element that strengthens bones and must have homeostasis
- 4. a fracture where one end of the bone tears through the skin
- 5. the sign that shows that your bone has stopped growing
- 6. A fracture where skin is intact
- 9. the marrow that stores fats
- 14. the process where mineral salts are deposited in the collagen fiber framework are crystallize and the tissue hardens as well
