Skeletal System

3. plate; area of growth in the long bone
6. the proximal and distal ends of the bone
8. Growing bone contains epiphyseal plate
10. bone shape that is cube-like and approximately equal in length, width, and thickness
11. bone shape that is thin and curved
12. type of cavity; hollow space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow and blood vessels in adults
13. type of marrow; hemopoietic tissue
14. process of bone development; cartilage is replaced by bone through childhood
16. bone building cells that initiate calcification, synthesize & secrete organic compounds for extracellular matrix
17. a break in the bone
18. fibrous layer that protects bone, assists in fracture repair, nourishes bone tissue, and is the attachment point for ligaments and tendons
19. bone shape that is small, round, and imbedded into tendons

1. bone shaft; the main part of the bone
2. unspecialized stem cells; the only cells that go under cell division
4. bone shape that is cylindrical and longer than it is wide
5. bone shape that is complex
6. the membrane that lines the medullary cavity
7. huge cells made up of monocytes (WBC), help with breakdown of bone in the extracellular matrix
9. type of marrow; triglyceride storage tissue
15. the thin layer of cartilage covering the epiphyses where the bone forms a joint; reduces friction and shock
