Skeletal system
Across
- 3. plate; area of growth in the long bone
- 6. the proximal and distal ends of the bone
- 8. Growing bone contains epiphyseal plate
- 10. bone shape that is cube-like and approximately equal in length, width, and thickness
- 11. bone shape that is thin and curved
- 12. cavity; the hollow space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow and blood vessels in adults
- 13. type of marrow; hemopoietic tissue
- 14. process of bone development; cartilage is replaced by bone through childhood
- 16. bone building cells that initiate calcification, synthesize & secrete organic compounds for extracellular matrix
- 17. a break in the bone
- 18. fibrous layer that protects bone, assists in fracture repair, nourishes bone tissue, and is the attachment point for ligaments and tendons
- 19. bone shape that is small, round, and imbedded into tendons
Down
- 1. bone shaft; the main part of the bone
- 2. unspecialized stem cells; the only cells that go under cell division
- 4. bone shape that is cylindrical and longer than it is wide
- 5. bone shape that is complex
- 6. the membrane that lines the medullary cavity
- 7. huge cells made up of monocytes (WBC), help with breakdown of bone in the extracellular matrix
- 9. type of marrow; triglyceride storage tissue
- 15. the thin layer of cartilage covering the epiphyses where the bone forms a joint; reduces friction and shock
