Across
- 2. when a bone is enclosed by a tough vascular covering of dense connective tissue
- 4. bone wall of the diahysis mainly composed of tightly packed tissue
- 7. the osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix called lamellae are centrically clustered around haversian canal
- 8. large multinucleated cells that break down the calcified matrix
- 10. irregular connecting spaces between plates to hep reduce the bone's weight
- 12. bone cells in tiny, bony chambers called lacunae
Down
- 1. outer surface of the articulating portion of the epiphysis thats coated with a layer of hyaline cartilage
- 3. occurs within the cartilage
- 5. shaft of the bone
- 6. cavity containing red or yellow marrow within the diaphysis of a long bone
- 8. bone forming cells
- 9. located at each end of a long bone & is an extended portion that articulates (or forms another joint) with another bone
