Across
  1. 4. type of marrow; hemopoietic tissue
  2. 10. Growing bone contains epiphyseal plate
  3. 11. process of bone development; cartilage is replaced by bone through childhood
  4. 13. a break in the bone
  5. 15. type of marrow; triglyceride storage
  6. 17. bone shape that is thin and curved
  7. 18. unspecialized stem cells; the only cells that go under cell division
  8. 19. bone shape that is cube-like and approximately equal in length, width, and thickness
Down
  1. 1. the proximal and distal ends of the bone
  2. 2. bone shape that is small, round, and imbedded into tendons
  3. 3. fibrous layer that protects bone, assists in fracture repair, nourishes bone tissue, and is the attachment point for ligaments and tendons
  4. 5. the thin layer of cartilage covering the epiphyses where the bone forms a joint; reduces friction and shock
  5. 6. bone building cells that initiate calcification, synthesize & secrete organic compounds for extracellular matrix
  6. 7. bone shape that is cylindrical and longer than it is wide
  7. 8. cavity; the hollow space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow and blood vessels in adults
  8. 9. bone shaft; the main part of the bone
  9. 11. huge cells made up of monocytes (WBC), help with breakdown of bone in the extracellular matrix
  10. 12. bone shape that is complex
  11. 14. plate; area of growth in the long bone
  12. 16. the membrane that lines the medullary cavity
