Bone Characteristics

6. area of growth in a long bone
7. when bone replaces the cartilage and stops growing
12. cells that actively remove bone matrix
13. fracture that occurs at an angle that is not 90
15. layer of cartilage covering epiphysis, where the bone forms an articulation with another bone
17. how we get calcium for our body
19. process of bone development
20. the membrane that lines the ineclullary cavity

1. abnormally low calcium levels
2. mature bone cells
3. supplies nutrients to the osteocytes
4. a region where cartilage is being replaced by bone
5. the head of the long bone
8. process where the matrix is resorbed on one surface of a bone and deposited on another
9. cavity within diaphysis
10. too much calcium
11. cells that actively deposit bone matrix
14. fracture where one fragment is driven into another
16. compact bone that consists of extracellular substance, the matrix
18. bone shaft or body
