Across
- 1. Bone Marrow, contains marrow strongly cells which produce cartilage, fat and bone and also aids in the storage of fats in cells called adipocytes
- 4. the main shaft or central part of a long bone
- 6. cells that break down and absorb bone tissue back into the body
- 8. the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bones
- 9. bony healing tissue that around the ends of the broken bone
- 11. a flexible connective tissue that cushions bones at joints such as the larynx and the outside parts of the ears
- 14. bone, protection of nervous tissue (such as the vertebra protect the spinal cord) afford multiple anchor points for skeletal muscle attachment (as with the sacrum)
- 15. bone, bone whose function is either extensive protection of the supply of broad surfaces for muscular attachment
- 18. Bone Marrow, produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
- 19. when the body loses bone density and the bones become brittle and weak
Down
- 2. Plate, the area of growth in a long bone
- 3. type of cell that makes up bone tissue
- 5. cartilage, the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones to come together to form joints
- 7. (Cortical) bone, a denser material used to create much of the hard structure of the skeleton
- 10. (Cancellous) bone, a very absorbable type of bone found in animals and is very cardiac and contains red bone marrow
- 12. a dense layer of connective tissue developing the bones except at the surfaces of the joints
- 13. a break in the bone
- 16. bone, hard, dense bones that provides strength, structure, and mobility.
- 17. Plate, the neutral plate of the vertebrae embryo
- 20. bone, bones that as wide as they are long, provide support and stability with Lille to no movement
