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