Across
- 3. - Hyaline cartilage that coats the epiphysis
- 5. - Body's framework of bones that provide support
- 8. - Medical stich that closes wounds by holding tissue edges together
- 11. - Synovial joint that allows movement in one plane only
- 13. - Thin layer of compact bone on the surace
- 15. - Allows for rotation around a single axis
- 18. - Continuous process that involves the breakdown and rebuilding of bone tissue
- 19. - One surface is concave and the other is convex
- 20. - Shaft of the bone between the epiphysis
- 21. - Joint where bones or segments connect
- 23. - Platelike structures with broad surfaces
- 24. - Tough covering of dense connective tissue
- 25. - Equal lengths and widths
- 28. - Two or more bones joined by dense connective tissue
- 29. - Extracellular matix that surrounds osteoblasts
- 30. - Freely movable joints
Down
- 1. - Part of the skeleton that protects the head, neck, and trunk
- 2. - Two or more bones connnected by cartilage
- 4. - The expanded portion at the end of long bones
- 6. - Variety of shapes. Most connected to several other bones
- 7. - Immovable that connects bones with fibrous or cartilage tissue
- 9. - Saclike cushioning structure near a joint
- 10. - Soft, spongy tissue responsible for blood cells
- 12. - Fluid-filled space that seperates the articulating surface of two or more bones
- 14. - Bones in the body that are attached to the axial
- 16. - Allows for sliding and gliding between bones
- 17. - Slightly movable joints where bones are conected by artilage
- 22. - Hollow space that connects the nasal cavity
- 26. - Tightly packed tissue on the wall of the diaphysis
- 27. - When differentiated progenitor cells enlarge and go into bone-forming cells
