- 6. bone that doesn’t have any easily characterized shape
- 7. articulation that permits free movement
- 10. the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone

- 15. cell responsible for bone resorption, or breakdown.

Down
- 1. contains adipose tissue
- 2. where hematopoiesis takes place
- 5. production of blood cells
- 8. contains osteocytes housed in lacunae
- 9. bone that is cylindrical in shape, being longer than it is wide.
- 12. a semi-rigid form of connective tissue, provides flexibility and smooth surfaces for movement.
- 13. a location where two or more bones meet
- 17. small, round bone that is shaped like a sesame seed. Protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces
- 19. cell responsible for forming new bone, found in the growing portions of the bone
