- 3. a small channel or duct
- 6. a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone
- 10. occurs when the cartilage model also grows in thickness due to the addition of more extracellular matrix on the peripheral cartilage surface

Down
- 2. a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted
- 3. a cell that has secreted the matrix of cartilage and become embedded in it
- 4. A cyclical process by which bone maintains a dynamic steady state through resorption and formation of a small amount of bone at the same site.
- 5. bone marrow mainly made up of fat cells
- 7. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints
- 8. a haversian canal with the concentrically arranged laminae of bone that surround it
