Skeletal System
Across
- 3. an opening or groove that allow the vessels and nerves to pass through
- 7. a bone that has a cylinder-like shape
- 9. does bone formation, synthesize and secrete collagen and calcium salts
- 11. rings formed by osteocytes
- 13. osteocytes that are within chambers
- 14. a bone that is small and round
- 16. where bones meet (joint)
- 18. osteoblasts that have calcified
- 19. a bone with a complex shape
- 20. a hollow cylindrical space within the diaphysis
- 22. for bone breakdown/resorption
- 23. cells found in periosteum and marrow, they develop osteoblasts
- 24. area on a bone that projects above the surface
Down
- 1. thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphyseal ends where a joint is formed
- 2. thin connective tissue stealth associated with the blood vessels
- 4. a bone that is thin and curved
- 5. thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity
- 6. between the diaphysis and the epiphyses
- 8. a canal found in the center of the rings
- 10. a bone with a cube-like shape
- 12. main shaft or body of bone
- 15. structure that connects osteocytes
- 17. the process of bone development
- 21. distal and proximal ends of the long bone
