unit 5:bones

5. junction of the epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone where growth in length occurs
8. fundamental functional unit of much compact bone
9. bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces (lacunae) that contain the osteocytes, or bone cells
10. bone marrow that is yellow with fat; found at the ends of long bones in adults
11. made up of spongy bone, which is bone with tiny holes similar to lattices
13. a large multinucleate bone cell that absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing
16. cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord
18. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints
19. highly specialized connective tissue of diarthrodial joints
20. the shaft or central part of a long bone

1. spicules form a latticework, with interstices filled with embryonic connective tissue or bone marrow
2. the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored
3. hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone
4. a thin layer, membrane, scale, or platelike tissue or part, especially in bone tissue
6. a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation
7. cell that lies within the substance of fully formed bone
12. Enlarged terminal part of the bone, nearest the center of the body, made of spongy tissue and articulating with neighboring bones
14. any of the small channels in the bone that transmit blood vessels from the periosteum into the bone and that communicate with the haversian canals
15. one marrow characterized by meshes of the reticular network that contain the developmental stages of red blood cells, white blood cells, and megakaryocytes
17. a cavity or depression, especially in bone
