1. A large multinucleated bone cell that absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing.
3. A soft, fatty tissue found inside bones that produces blood cells.
4. Dense, hard outer layer of bone that provides strength and protection.
6. A flexible connective tissue found in various parts of the body, including joints, nose, and ears, providing support and reducing friction.
7. Thin, irregular bars or plates of bone that make up spongy bone, providing strength without excessive weight.
9. The basic structural unit of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of bone around a central canal.
10. A dense fibrous membrane covering the surface of bones (except at their extremities) and serving as an attachment for muscles and tendons.
12. The framework of the body, consisting of bones and connective tissues, that provides support, protection, movement, and produces blood cells.
13. The process of blood cell formation, which occurs in the red bone marrow.
14. A type of joint that is freely movable, characterized by a joint capsule, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage.

2. Lighter, less dense inner part of bone, characterized by a porous, honeycomb-like structure.
5. The process of bone formation, where cartilage or fibrous tissue is converted into bone.
8. A strong, fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones, providing stability to joints.
9. A cell that forms new bone tissue.
11. A mature bone cell that maintains the bone tissue.
