Across
- 7. formation of new blood cells
- 8. thin layer of hyaline cartilage on epiphyses, reduces friction between articulating bones
- 9. between diaphysis and epiphysis, containing epiphysial (growth) plate
- 10. covers most internal surfaces of bones
- 11. cylindrical space in diaphysis, contains yellow bone marrow in adult
- 12. smooth surfaces where bones meet
- 14. living organs containing all four tissues types, primarily connective tissues, extracellular matrix is sturdy and rigid, strengthened by calcification
- 15. bone tissue that is solid and relatively dense, external surfaces of long and flat bones
Down
- 1. elongated, usually cylindrical shaft
- 2. tissues that grow and change throughout life, consisting of cartilages, bones, ligaments, and other supportive connective tissues
- 3. dense irregular connective tissue covering external surfaces of bones, acts as anchor for blood vessels and nerves, anchored by perforating fibers embedded in the bone matrix
- 4. process by which minerals deposited in the matrix as hydroxyappetite
- 5. knobby, enlarged regions at ends, strengthen joints, attachment site for tendons/ligaments
- 6. bone cells that dissolve bone, releasing calcium, resorption, involved in remodeling
- 13. bone cells that maintain matrix and reside in lacunae, involved in remodeling
