Across
  1. 6. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
  2. 7. the shaft or central part of a long bone.
  3. 10. is a hollowed-out place or a cavity within a bone
  4. 12. the fatty network of connective tissue that is yellow
  5. 13. A cell that nibbles at and breaks down bone and is responsible for bone resorption
  6. 14. small channels in the bone that transmit blood vessels from the periosteum into the bone and that communicate with the haversian canals.
  7. 15. a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted.
  8. 16. is the highly specialized connective tissue of diarthrodial joints.
  9. 17. is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.
  10. 18. A cell that makes bone.
  11. 19. The epiphyseal plate is a plate of hyaline cartilage found in children and adolescents, located in the metaphysis at the ends of each long bone
  12. 20. is the rounded part of the bone found at the end of the diaphysis that is pointing away from the center of the body.
Down
  1. 1. is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord
  2. 2. is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone
  3. 3. thin layer, membrane, scale, or platelike tissue or part, especially in bone tissue.
  4. 4. the fatty network of connective tissue that fills the cavities of bones.
  5. 5. is a very porous type of bone
  6. 8. Enlarged terminal part of the bone, nearest the center of the body, made of spongy tissue and articulating with neighboring bones.
  7. 9. is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored
  8. 11. dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces (lacunae) that contain the osteocytes
