- 2. joint that only allows for a motion in a single plane
- 3. any place where adjacent bones or bone and cartilage come together to form a connection

- 6. example of this bone is the carpals of the wrist or the tarsals of the ankle
- 7. the lighter and less dense of the two types of bone tissue, found in the epiphysis of long bones
- 10. marrow found in the medullary cavity, contains adipose tissue
